Talking Re: Build Space

The Grandville RoboDawG teams are very blessed with our build spaces!

In the years before my freshman year, we [288] were in the "Dungeon" of the 6th grade building, with multiple rooms to set stuff up in, build, program, ect., and it was located right next to the tech department. Not too bad of a build area!

Freshman year we needed a new spot, so we moved to a local strip mall where no one had been in ages. we bought 2 slots and were able to have our 2nd team, as well as an almost-full-sized field and a place to eat [apparently metal shrapnels aren't good for your health... Who would have known!]

For the past 2 years, we were able to get the old cafeteria in the old 6th grade building [I say old because it was retired and the 6th graders were moved to elementary schools]. We share the space with the special needs kids who go to school there. Our only major rule was we had to keep the area they had lunch in clean. This will be our 3rd year at this location and now have 3 teams, a full sized field, Lego League storage, our own "cutting/milling" room, Botball storage, and eating area! Its a huge space and we thank Grandville's Admin for allowing us to work there, and we hope to have many more memory filled years there!
