The seperated ares are good so we can keep the refridgerator away from the electrical work area. And keep the computer crew away from everyone else; no one likes them anyways.
(hee hee J/K you guys  We luv you anyways.)

yeah, dupont was nice to us this year and gave us a huge area to work with. they also let us use their huge machine shop with sheet metal sheers (and punches, benders, and angle cutters), bridgeports (which for anyone who doesn't know are drill presses that are electronically measured to 0.0005 of an inch), a nine foot tall drill press that can power a three inch drill bit (which I have personally seen and are quite cool, but also quite heavy), an eight foor tall bandsaw with a jaw that opens up to two feet, radii saws, and a rotary. they've given us a lot and we're thankful for it. they've also spent the time to officially train all of us so that we can use these machines (which dupont wouldn't let us do if we didn't have proper training).
