Re: MILWAUKEE TABLE TOP TOOLS BANNED?
We have not yet gotten the detailed instructions on machine shop/tool use for next week's St. Louis Regional at the Chaifetz Arena, but my guess is that it will be the same as the last 2 years: no 'power tools' in the pit (cordless drill is ok). All machining has to be taken to the machining desk, they send it with a volunteer via golf cart to a facility 2 blocks away for the work then return it back to the team. This is probably the smallest (field size/reg season) facility that we've been to for FIRST, so I'm not sure if that is part of the reasoning?

When the St. Louis Regional was at the Family Arena, there was usually a full size tractor trailer filled with equipment and volunteers from NASA to do the machining for us and they were ok with tools in the pit.

I would think each venue could set their own rules for food/drink/tools..
