Re: Where do you meet?

Our first year we were in one of the team's parents garage's. As he restores cars, it had a bunch of equipment we can use... but it did get a bit cold!

Our second year we got an engineering co-op in St. Paul to sponsor us with after-hours use of their shop. They hooked us up with the owner of their building, who let us use a huge unused room on the second floor pretty cheeply during the build season, and then gave us a large closet for the off season. third year we did that again, only this time it was an unused room on the third floor.

By the end of the season, we were too big to fit back in the closet, so the school took out a 3-year lease on the room we were in originally, and they had it remodeled to fit us. We've been there ever since.
