I want to echo this. Please consider that, at competition, you will NOT be allowed to do any machining of carbon fiber - no cutting, no drilling, no sanding, etc. The facilities we compete in aren't equipped to do so safely, and even if your team has proper personal protective equipment, your neighbors will not.
