our team...

Well our team, has no engineers. At times it gets difficult but we can honestly say we the students built it. All the designing and fabrication is done by us. We have 2 adults who help us, one is a physics teacher and the other is a technical director. We consult them if our ideas are within the bounds of this physical universe. The answer is always- everything is possible. We are lucky to have a mill and a lathe in our school, and the surrounding lab is where the robot is forged, so that's where all the work is done. Other teams make use of our equipment. We've helped 3 rookie teams in fabrication and we ourselves are a rookie team. Our team has to be very resourceful, as we are a low budget team with no sponsor. (We were entered by our school board) At the end of the day, we're on a different playing field than a team who has a robot built by engineers. So, why can't we be a little louder?
