Well, 810, um, I'm not really sure what we have.

I do know that the manual milling machine, that has been sitting in our room for, oh, only about a year or so now, will finally be getting the correct power wired to it, and a little enclosure built around it, so we'll have a nice old milling machine that we can use to do inhouse work now, which makes me very happy. It used to make airplane parts, so as far as I'm concerned, once it works, it'll be good enough for us .

We also have one student on the team that has a small milling machine, lathe, drill press, etc in his basement, which we used last year for small parts and such.

We might have a machine shop helping us this year, for large and/or complex parts, but Mr. Dennis, our technical mentor, wants to do everything in house, because he didn't like how most of our stuff was machined last year (I'm trying to stay out of that whole argument).

We do have a woodshop at our school, as well as an autobody shop, but my team refuses to use any wood at all (for various reasons), and I'm not sure of the capabilites of the autobody shop, but I'm pretty sure they don't have much. I don't even think they have a bandsaw.

After that, we don't have much else. Your basic handtools. Oh, and a bunch of tables, and chairs, and um, pizza. That's an important tool too .
