Non-FIRST Machine Shops !?!?!?!

so last year it was you couldn't drill or cut inside in fear of sparks even though aluminum can not make sparks. meanwhile the motors of the robot themselves are sparking like Zeus.

and now No Tools at all. if i wanted to dril a straight hole with SPAM's Drill press i can't i have to go to the regional's machine shop with takes forever. and probaly miss a match.

what is the logic behind this what does the first comunity think about it and how do we change it?

Non-FIRST Machine Shops


FIRST does not allow non-FIRST approved mobile machine shops at any FRC regional event sites, either inside or outside. This also includes grinding wheels, bandsaws and/or drill presses in the Pit. The local Regional Planning Committees have worked hard to provide machine shop facilities at every FRC regional event to meet your various needs.
