Re: University of Highschool
Depends on what the situation is. Are you a high school team or are you a group encompassing multiple schools?
IMO, if you are one high school it's better to stay at the school. Yes you will have an easier time building your robots with advanced tooling, but you are not going to reach as many students. When it's at the school it's often much easier for some of the kids to be on the team.
For example, our team used to work completely out of our mentor's office. While it worked for some people, many were unable to be involved with the robot because they lacked the ability to get somewhere 25 minutes away. When we moved a lot of our build to a room in the school (albeit with significantly less machining abilities), more people began to show up and more hands were in the robot. Not to mention the large amount of curious onlookers who never knew we had a robotics team before but now support it like many of the school's other programs.
