Go to Post With any dollar amount to invest I would be more interested in the number of individuals (students is too narrow) impacted than the number of teams created--after all, this is about people. - kramarczyk [more]

Thanks Simbotics! Your world-famous status definitely lends legitimacy to your suggestions!

From a bare-bones rookie perspective, building a previous year will be a challenge. We have a drill, a hacksaw, some screwdrivers. I agree with you when we have more available. Most likely we're going to go with a blend of what you're proposing, with a low target (great bots cost great amounts of money). In other words, an "awesome third bot" approach first year.

What I would really like to do is build the most essential skills. I can personally teach Inventor and programming, and we'll most likely share ideas with 1771 and any other teams. Where I lack are the hands-on skills to practice, like tapping holes, cutting, basic part recognition like spacers, etc.

Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming, I'm finding there is a lot of experience out there, but we can do more for the low-income teams to get ready, and I'd like to make that happen for us and others to follow.
I think people at your standard tool stores should know how to use them, so they can always teach some people.

As for fabricating some things, Georgia Tech RoboJackets have a shop with a lot of great tools like Mills, lathes, CNC's and even a waterjet. I know I would love to use the 1002 CNC Mill or Jet Mill or Lathe to fabricate some parts if you need them .
