Wow, I can’t believe someone actually knows us… especially someone who wasn’t at any of our regionals

But that’s not exactly right. We used to build the robot in the Physics lab, but we now build in the basement. If FIRST really wanted to give us a lathe, I’m sure we would find someplace to put it. We’re a pre-engineering school, we don’t need the Spanish classroom right?

But on a more serious note, giving away machinery could pose some problems with insurance and what not. I know with our school district’s red tape, we wouldn’t be able to use it until 3 years later, and even then it would take a couple years more for any of the kids to actually get certified.
