basically our camp is set up to help the girls on our team--- as i leave for college next year we need other girls in the pit crew-- i was one of the first girls in our pit working-- and mary is now a part too-- but generally on our team the guys take over the pit and the girls don't work in the pit-- we are just showing the girls that we as females can work on the machine and bot
The set up was because of my mom--she had a vision to bring more girls on board.
First we learned about the safety concerns. And we are actually making our own nut and bolt. And we are actually fixing up our omini wheels-- wheels need new rubber.
The girls are learning all the tools and how to use the Bridgeport along with the lathe.
Those are fun to use!! (hee hee
