Re: pic: Dorm Room Robot

Nice robot! The team that I mentor (#2167 Radical T3ch) also works out of a dorm room at the Missouri Academy/Northwest Missouri State University. They really don't have a "shop". I think they *maybe* only have like 2 power tools.
Going from a team that had a nice university engineering lab last year, to a small dorm room this year is quite a challenge. It really makes one become more creative in how they tackle problems. If you guys have any tips as to how to build a robot in a dorm room, please pass them on I'm wondering how many teams are in the position that our team is in (no machine shop, super limited power tools, space, etc). I'm hoping to pull concepts from Team Neutrino's chassis that we built last year, and find a sponsor to help machine parts for us.
