Our school did not completely understand the value of the robotics program in the beginning. We worked at the school our rookie year, well part of it anyways. The space we had was too small, we could not fit the robot our of the doorways. Our coach/teacher sponsor was gracious enough to let us build at her house. A few years later she retired, leaving us with no where to build. My parents were gracious enough to all the team to build at our house my senior year. Though when I graduated we were left to find another home. We then moved to another students house to build and he graduated like I did. So this year we are building at my house again since my brother will be a freshman.

So to sum up my rambling, look into possibly using a mentor's exterior garage. Or look into the community for a co-op or to your sponsors. They may have some extra space they could allow your team to use. Good luck on your search.
