our school had a metal shop class until they cut it because of budgeting reasons. thankfully, we were able to keep all of the machines for our robotics team.

If you have machinery in your school that is owned by the school solly for the use of robotics, then I recommend that you hold an open house to allow your school to see what you are using it all for and get them aware of robotics. Our team was in a bit of danger because our school wanted to put a printing press in where our metal shop is, but we held an open house and invited our sponsors, teachers, administrators, and parents, all to come and see what we were up to.

It can also get you a LOT of publicity.
