Re: FRC Build Season Workshop Resources

I commiserate with the no-heat problem. Our "shop" is located literally under the stands of our school stadium in the referee changing rooms. 100% concrete, cramped, and ugly to boot. And you guessed it...we have to move out every night there is a game! And we don't have access to the curcuit breaker, so we can either have the tools or the heater on at one time...you can imagine what that looks like on overnight stays.

As far as tools go we have...

a band saw
drill press
belt sander
mini-grinder
chop saw
and assorted hand tools.


Basically, we are constantly working aluminum with woodworking tools! However, as much as we may drool over CNC mills and lathes, we actually function very well with the tools we know how to use.

But if anyone has an extra mill laying around...
