This is a rough schedule of what build season should look like. It's gonna look fast, but that's just how FRC is. You won't believe how much you can get done working as many hours a week as you will.
{% hint style="warning" %} STICK TO THIS SCHEDULE, no matter when competition is. Extra time beyond the 6 weeks should be used for driver/pit practice. {% endhint %}

Does this really need a section? It's comp. You'll know what to do by the time you make it here.
Also we'll have procedures for various different things related to competition.
