Kinda funny Cam .. you neglected to say what
our team does.
All our welding, is done by 3 students (2 girls
.. dead serious. Almost all the welds in the picture linked above were done by a girl) and watched over by a mentor (who was a student on the team last year). All the welding is done on a Lincon MIG with a spool gun set up for aluminum. All our steel welding, is done on a normal MIG.
We've considered having stuff taken to people who have offered to TIG, but it always ends up going into the metal shop and getting done on our MIG. Only TIG welds our bots have ever seen, were done by the 254 machine shop trailer at our regionals.
