machine shop-- don't over load them-- s.p.a.m. did that before and yeah they have their own work to get done besides the stuff we wanted back in 03-- try to make it a simple bot then--kiss rule all the way-- way back we never had anything great-- table saw and drill press was our tools-- so yeah a bot can be made--

space--big issue-- 00 s.p.a.m. moved a few times during build season--i remember a call Sunday morning during breakfast that we were being kicked out--new home needed-- try to rent a space--we did that so we could finish the bot-- make out a deal w/ them to lower costs-- money is an issue w/ everyone-- or just ask around-- we used an empty old church back in 00

mentors--show them around the world of FIRST-- but don't expect them to jump on board right away--everyone has families they love to be with-- give them contacts to other teams so they can understand everything

i really wish the best of luck to you guys!! first won't be the same w/o you guys
