Re: Team 869 In Need of Some Advice

One thing that will help out with metal working without a machine shop is a cheap used copy of AutoCAD, a can of spray adhesive, and a plotter printer.

If you Cad all of the parts you need to make out of sheet metal you can print life-size versions of your drawings and use the spray adhesive to stick the image on to the sheet metal of your choice. This way you can get the precision of a machine shop with hand tools.
