Re: Building Out a Workshop
Additionally, you can save a ton of money by building shelving and workbenches/tables from scratch. Use good dimensional lumber for the support, and thick, smooth plywood for the benchtops. We like it because it's cheap and easy to replace, meaning you can mount stuff to it and when the tabletop gets really unusable its not too difficult to change to a fresh top. For example, we usually build plywood "walls" around the bench that holds our bagged robot after bag day, so that students in the shop (it's also a classroom space) don't mess with the bag.

We were asked to help change a culture. If the solution was simple FIRST would have given more specific guidelines on how to do this. It is our job as teams to find unique and creative ways to help fulfill the request from FIRST. - tim-tim [more]
