Where do you build your bot?

[dez250]

I was wondering about all the teams, where do you build your robot?

ill start it off, we do all the work at our schools, we have full machine, auto, metal and wood shops at our schools.

We do our work at school too. Specifically, everything is built in the basement of the nuns' convent that is attatched to our school. We do our best with the space we have attempting to make it an actual work shop. I must say the nun's really dont appreciate our power tools, especially late at night when ship date is in 3 days.

well i dont know bout most teams but we do mast of the building of our bot w/ in the wood shop of our school and have very few things machined/made 4 us

We were very fortunate to partner up with a local tech center this year.. NMTCC (North Montco Techincal Career Center) has been amazing, from its mechanics to students to machine shop. And the best thing about this is, every single stinking part on the robot was built by students.

A table in a room, in a building, on a campus, in a block, in a county, in a city, in a state, in a country, on a continent, in a hemisphere, on a planet, in the solar system, in the milky way......

We use the Auto Shop at our school. We have a decent amount of machine shop equipment, so we can do almost everything on-site.

We build our bots in the old Auto shop. They don't use it for that anymore. Because iot used to be an auto shop it is huge! Almost every year we build a full out field. N-e way, yeah, we build at our school.

We build our bot at CinergyPSI...our local electric company. They provide a fairly large space, about 1/3-1/2 of their warehouse (not sure sq.ft.) for us to use, they are very very gracious.

We do about half and half building at the machine shop and building at the school. Anything that requires machining must be done there, since all we have at school are cordless drills.

In a cafeteria, baby! No metal, auto, or wood shop!

HAhaha...we build at a lot of different places....The computer lab at school, or the library, (we cant go to the old wood shop because its the wrestling room/set shop for theater.) Most of the time we work out of Columbus States machine shop, and on Saturdays we worked at Southeast Career Center with 3 other teams... We lost soo much stuff throughout the season...We were in soo many different lab rooms at school and columbus state. It was madness...my little geo got a workout thought because i was the only one on the team that could drive so i had the robot alot in my car......(so glade we went with a compact design!!!) all in all....there were 6 someodd different places we built at.

We have been different places in our school, but since i've been on the team we've been in the shop room. It's pretty nice, we have to work out of a closet though, that's not always the funnest thing. We do almost all of our own machining, but send a few items to local machine shops.
