Wait, so all we have to do is drive our machine shop through the front doors and into the pits? Awesome! We might need a little more pit space though

Darn Administrative Manual
Quote:

When using tools in the Pit, be sure to use them properly, in a safe and controlled manner. Unsafe operation, especially those that endanger others and your team, will be subject to scrutiny by the event staff and safety reviewers. Their findings may result in team caution or event expulsion.

Please adhere to the following safety rules regarding Pit safety and tool use:

Tools that throw sparks are prohibited.
Examples: Electric welders, bench grinders and angle grinders.
Tools that produce open flames are prohibited.
Examples: Gas welders and propane/MAPP gas torches.
Floor standing power tools are prohibited.
Examples: Full-size drill presses, full-size band saws and full-size table saws.
Grinding or painting in the Pit is prohibited. Designated grinding and painting areas are available to teams.
Brazing/welding is prohibited at the team Pits. Use the machine shop.
Soldering is permitted. Use electric iron/gun only.
Small, bench-top machinery, with appropriate guards, is permitted in team Pits.
We consider ‘small’ machinery as machinery easily lifted by one (1) person
Examples: Small band saws, drill presses, and sanders.
Small, desktop machining centers are permitted as long as they are reasonably sized. They must be appropriately covered to prevent throwing of chips during operation.
We consider ‘small’ machining centers to be easily lifted by one (1) person
Example: Desktop CNC mill.

Good point. I'm prepared to accept that the rules would permit a team to take bumpers and operator consoles off site to work on them.
