At various times, many teams have asked about where to find machine tools at less-than-retail prices to build their robots. I just came across
this information about a machine shop liquidation scheduled for this weekend that may be of interest. The guys liquidating the machine shop were some of the co-sponsors of the Iron Fever Expo, which hosted the off-season Summer Frenzy competition last year in York PA. If you are in the New Jersey - New York - Pennsylvania area, you may want to check it out. While the timing is not perfect for this year, it may be a good opportunity to pick up some machine tools at reasonable prices as you start getting ready for the
2006 competition.
