Funny... you two guys just described 1197's shop. At least to a point. I didn't realize it was quite so ideal.

We've got a large open area with workbenches around the outside, a small loft (used for leadership/mentor small meetings), a room for electronics (why that has one of the compressed-air drops is beyond me), and a storage/meal room.

And yes, we've got speakers and some random degree of organization (read: 90% chance of finding what we're looking for and the rest is finding something that will work) and the fridge/microwave/coffeepot. Some lockers. Plenty of power drops in the ceiling, and yep, they're retractable. Not a lot of practice space, but getting out through the garage door isn't hard and there's a parking area out there that we're able to largely keep empty.

That big room used to be the auto shop at the school. The lifts and such are long gone... but the robotics team has been busy.
