We have a small room off of the teacher office area in our school to store the robot, tools and parts, but it's not really a good working environment, and we don't usually do anything more than tighten bolts in there. Neither the team nor the school own any machining tools, but even if they did, they wouldn't fit in the room (nor would it be possible to get them in there). We usually build things in the machine shops of sponsors instead.

When they called off after-school activities last year for snow during the build season, we moved our base of operations to my basement. It was very nice to just be able to walk downstairs and work on the robot, then walk back upstairs for food. Plus, I wasn't constantly bothered by my parents to come home.
