Where's the duct tape???????

[MasterChief 573]

I'll take the vice grip and the automatic hole punch!:)

[Liz Smith]

I think I'll take one of the needle nose pliers and the side cutters.

[Arefin Bari]

I wanted lots of 1/8" drill bits and a hammer. =(

Zip-Ties. They fix everything. Gimme Zip-Ties and I'm stoked.

Plus, they are perfect for attaching your sleeping classmate to his desk :cool:

Don't forget the zip tie gun to go with them. Zip tie guns are far too amusing, we had a lot of fun with them this season.

[EmilioM]

Touche. Add the zip-tie gun to my list :D

[Greg Marra]

Pop rivets. Oh yea.

What's a zip tie gun and how can I get one?

So cool. I was introduced to them in Pittsburgh this year. They tighten AND cut zipties for you. :D I want one of those too.

[Conor Ryan]

I <3 Deburing Tools. You might want to throw a pencil into that stack too. And a sharpie, they work well on aluminum.

I love how much attention is now being paid to the zip-tie gun lol.

Ps. I second the deburring tool. When you have as many hand-drilled ligtening hole on your robot as we did, its hard no to have one or two in your pocket 24/7

Pps. Toss in a dremel tool. They make for some pretty neat light shows :D

*nods* We found a website selling them for a decent price, and bought enough to hand out to each team at Pittsburgh. So I'm pretty sure the one you were introduced to came from us. Everyone seemed to love them as much as we do. :D

Your assumption is correct, it was one from your team! I didn't end up with one to keep though. Oh well.. birthday gift? Anyone? Saturday of Championships? No? Thats ok... ;)

Choose my weapon hmm... I'll have to take the file, pliers, clamp, and the lightsaber. Never know when you need to cut through a blast door to get to the robot:D

All the tools above mentioned were in the array of tools(apart from the rivets), but the picture only included a small section.

[lucasphil]

You have a lightsaber!!?? Where can I get one?

[cire]

Anyone want to grab the #7 drill bit and be my partner in crime... errr metal shavings?

[whytheheckme]

[Gabe]

I'll call the automatic center punch and the knife file.

[SizzelChest330]

Who knew this thread would be such a hit?

Ill take the throwing allen keys
and I guess the prison shank drillbit

[David Brinza]

Basically, we all become tool junkies. Ever have a case of machine shop envy? That's when you're really hooked...

[GaryVoshol]

I'll take 7/16ths wrench for $800 please, Alex.

[Grant Cox]

I'll take an 11/64ths drill bit, some small pop rivets, and a pneumatic riveter please :)

What is the one tool that everyone will need, but no one can find?
