When I was on 201, we worked out of the Auto Shop at our school, so we had a rather extensive set of hand tools, plus a manual Bridgeport mill, manual lathe, drill press, horizontal and vertical bandsaw, plasma cutter, and MIG welder. We did everything we could on our own, but some things, like aluminum welding and some CNC work on our gearboxes, just couldn't be done using our tools available. Those kinds of things we handed off to the prototype shop at GM R&D, our sponsor.
