Here are some more pics.

It has taken years to get to where we are now. We allocate a portion of our budget every year to upgrading the shop and adding more computers. In addition we are always on the lookout for machine equipment donations from companies around the area. For example, last summer we added shop air and the year before that we got an equipment donation as well as converted a minimill to a CNC mill. This summer we added an additional toolbox, more computers and a CNC router.

Best advice for teams that are growing is to try to invest in your space and your teams future. Putting some of your funds away to improve your shop and add capabilities or more touch points for students can pay off more down the road then spending money on single use items like extra travel competitions or parties. Anyways I hope more people post some pictures. It is great seeing how other teams work.
