Re: Build/Meeting Spaces

We meet in our school's shop, which has a drill press, band saw, table saw and other wood tools that can be used for metal. We bought a mill and lathe in the last year to increase what we can do. It is not a fantastic set up but better than a lot of teams have.

We meet Mon-Thu evenings from 6:30 - 9:00 (to accomodate the mentors) and on Saturdays from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. This year we did two Friday night builds as well (6:30-9:00 or so), one on the last weekend and one the week before to make up for a snow day. On President's day we were here from 9:00 am until 9:30 pm. This meeting pattern has been pretty much normal for us since we started. It would actually be a LOT more convenient for me to meet after school from 2:30-5:00 but that would cut out half our mentors from helping.
