    1010   * Extended-Build-Season: Once the robot has been bagged, students may (and should) continue to develop robot features and capabilities.  This is typically done using a second robot that had been built during the build season for this purpose or using other development tools.  During this time, students can refine software, perform additional testing, and even make small mechanical elements (e.g. constructing or altering parts) that they can later place on the robot when it is un-bagged for competition (there is a weight limit on what can be added to the robot so you can't just keep working and bring a whole new robot, but you might be able to replace a mechanism or part of a mechanism); software and sensor changes are virtually unlimited.  Extended build-season may be many weeks and encompasses all of the time between bag and the last competition.
    1111   * Post-Season: after the last competition, the team meets infrequently, usually to clean up and organize for the following year.  Mentors meet to select student leaders for the following year and awards for students that have performed exceptionally well including Nuttys for exceptional individual performance, Boltys for exceptional team performance, and Structural Support Awards (SSAs) to recognize performance that was good, but did not meet the level of a Nutty or Bolty.
    12    * Note that the above is focused on the technical/mechanical side of the team. There is also an Operations side, which is busy year round arranging appearances at events, reaching out to sponsors for funding, etc.
