Wait, not sharing with ME?!?
I have a similar idea, a hacker space with the tooling for anybody to come in and build, with resident people to teach how to use/build or machine parts. Along with a parts supply (VexPro/AndyMark/Sparkfun East (ummm VEXAndSparkyMark) Like Woodworkers Shops in our area. Low budget teams can come and build all season, other teams come use the 3D printers, etc. But I want more of a Year Round focus, not just a few months of the year. And I want to have space for multiple practice fields (VEX, FLL, FTC, Bobot, FRC, etc. ) (Of course assuming there was any left after Cynette's share
)
