Our primary work site is the school Auto Shop. We "inherited" the machines from the old metal shop, so we have a Bridgeport mill, a lathe, drill press, band saw, a MIG welder and a few other things in addition to all the automotive tools that "belong" in the auto shop. Since the shop teacher is our main mechanical guy, basically half the place is full of our stuff.

Occasionally, we also go down to the Visteon office in Troy to use our field. We took over the back room and set up our field for about three months. All the late-night autonomous work was done there. We get some stuff done at the GM Tech Center, too, though we usually don't go there ourselves. We just send our steel prototypes and drawings down and say "can you make this in aluminum?" So, a lot of the machine work and welding is done there, but all the design, prototyping, and assembly is done at the school.
