Be careful. If you put machine tools in there and take it to competitions, I believe there are some rules discussing making it available to all the other teams.
When you do that, you have to talk about insurance etc.
FIRST welcomes team-provided mobile machine shop facilities/trailers at events, but the
proposed facility has to comply with FIRST and venue requirements. The mobile machine
shop/trailer sponsor must adhere to the following two sections.
3.9.14.1 Approval and Liability and Security Coverage
Have FIRST approval and clearance prior to each event. E-mail
frcteams@usfirst.org to
request approval by Kickoff.
Provide liability coverage. Note that liability coverage at event venues vary, and specific
venue policies my further restrict the use of these team-provided mobile machine shops.
Without the proper additional insurance certificate, the mobile machine shop cannot be
used at the event. The requirements are:
a) Name FIRST as an additional insured.

b) Fax the certificate to 603 666 3907, Attention Team Support.
c) Present a copy of the certificate to the Event Manager on site prior to setting up the
machine shop.
Include an appropriate team-provided staff to perform the requested work. Each must
be covered under the provided liability coverage.
Provide for any security requirements. Neither FIRST nor the venue will provide these
services.
