what does your team have?
Space, tools, Climate controls, furnature, equiptment ETC?
Sounds like an impressive new shop. We just used the high school's auto shop, which had lots of space and equipment, but we'd have to pack all our stuff away, because it wasn't ours all the time. For example, we had to build our field at the Visteon office in Troy, because we couldn't take up the floor of the shop for 6 weeks; it was big enough, but we'd have had to tear it down every time we finished with it. As far as tools and other equipment, though, we had a good selection of hand tools, and a few big machines, like a manual mill, lathe, drill press, band saw, and welding equipment. Climate controls, though... hah. The room had a big hole in the wall, at one point, which we had to patch ourselves. Below about 30 degrees, the heater couldn't keep up with the partially fixed hole in the wall, and the shop got really cold. We'd have to wear coats and such when it got really cold. Not fun...
