The Member's Passport: Meetings

Meetings constitute the primary mechanism by which Rocky Mountain Robotics members work together and communicate. We have two separate meeting schedules: the fall schedule and the competition season schedule.

Fall meetings

During the fall, team meetings (typically on Wednesdays) will focus on:

  • technical topics
  • descriptions of the sub-teams
  • administrative topics
  • sub-team meetings and progress reports
  • decision making
  • fundraising issues
  • hands-on training workshops
  • team building exercises
  • other team exercises

Competition season meetings

Most members of the team meet every day for work sessions during the six-week build season. These sessions will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will end promptly at 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Saturday, we will typically meet from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with no meetings on Sundays. Weekly full team meetings during the build season will fall on Wednesdays and will focus on:

  • sub-team progress reports
  • performance to schedule
  • financial status updates
  • design or strategy decisions
  • travel discussions
  • general team news

Students are asked to show up on time for meetings—don't show up early as mentors often meet before the regular team meetings. Parents are asked to pick up students promptly after the meetings, since school faculty members cannot leave until all students have been picked up.
