As part of my Strategic Management course in school we had to put together a Business plan, and this is what I i did the business plan on. So i have numbers for everything, including a space chosen and insurance taken care of. Insurance was a bit difficult, but I'm being put in touch with some parents of FRC/FTC/FLL students who so liability insurance, and some who are lawyers so we could look at putting documents together for students to use the machinery.

I have looked at second hand equipment and it's not that bad, the biggest cost is energy and getting sponsors/membership to stay alive. My professors like the idea and are working with me to see what we can do.

It's a courageous idea, and may never see action, but it's fun, none-the-less.

We are looking at setting a partnership with the Tech shop or possibly another Machine shop to help with supply of tooling and such
