Re: Drill presses and bandsaws back in the pits
I think this still does not get to the root problem of shared decision making between FIRST and the teams. Based on the already infamous Update #16 thread there are bigger problems than providing an on-site quick fix shop.
And while this sort of shop seems great in concept it still takes more time than would be required if you had exclusive access to the same equipment right in your pit. Not to mention the fact that many fixes are cut - test - cut some more - test again - round an edge - test again - drill a new hole - retest yet again.... You get the picture. Many of the fixes aren't precision fixes but quick, on-the-fly, get-it-done-now, we're-being-called-for-our-next-match fixes.
Good idea but still not good enough in my opinion.
