Re: Biggest Advantage/Disadvantage
Advantage: Having three big time sponsors that give us unlimited access to their CNC mills, laser jets, water jets, automatic breaks and welders, CAD resources and pretty much any other kind of machining equipment you can think of. All with a two-three day turn-around time.
Disadvantage: We are in a very rural area and have little or no student interest for robotics. We officially have eight students but only two that ever show up and participate.
