Re: Building Green... What are teams doing?

Our wheel hubs are recycled aluminum, cast from scrap we had sitting around the metal shop.

Our drive modules are wood, a renewable, biodegradable resource.

And, from all obvious indicators, all shipping to our team is being done by an aged donkey with a penchant for afternoon naps and frequent grazing breaks. That's why we got our Orbit balls on Friday and will hopefully get our missing KoP parts tommorrow and have yet to see the McMaster order that was supposed to have shipped over a week ago. That's okay... we're far enough behind schedule now that this fits in to our build sequence just fine. It gives me more time to recycle helpful advice to the students like, "yes, the aluminum is hot when it comes off the belt sander."
