Hey there, in the past year I think everyone in the FIRST family has become somewhat familiar with intelitek because of EasyC, but what most of you don't know is that we also make hardware as well. Specifically educational CNC machines.
They're small enough to fit in a classroom and easy enough that anyone can use them without having a machining background. There is also curriculum available as well.
Check out some of our products at

To fit your budget and design needs I'd recommend the eXpertMill, it's our newest product on the market and has some impressive specs for a small budget machine. If you need anymore info you can call the number on our company website or PM me directly.
Just as an FYI our team, Team 40 has been using the ProLight 1000 for years making parts for our robots. The expermill is new and that machine is starting to get some use making robot parts as well.
