Re: Most underrated/undervalued tools

For out team the most underrated tool was BY FAR a printer. I know it sounds crazy but without out a printer we probably wouldn't have been able to finish our robot. For the first 4 weeks of build season, we would have to ask the CAD team the dimensions of stuff we had to fabricate. That was obviously a terrible and inefficient system. Once we got a printer, the CAD team could print out drawings and we could be much faster and more accurate.

Other than that, probably a ratchet alan set.
