Where do you actually build your robot and who does the building???

[eshteyn]

We make our robot in our school shop. I machine the pieces on our tools, and I'm currently teaching a female member as well as another male member of our team how to properly machine parts, and how to safely use the tools. Our mentor helps out with them machining work load and guides us in the appropriate direction, after all he is an engineer.

Our team builds our robot in the tech rooms of our school. When we have to practice with the robot, we move to the cafeteria usually where it is open. Our goal for SparX is to have the students build 95% of the robot. The students do build it and we start off by brainstorming ideas. Then we go to cad/inventor and then start building.

Where do you build the robot???

Team 1519 builds and designs our robot in one of our coach's basements. He has a couple large rooms, not enough storage space, and a small machine shop.


Does your team's students actually build the robot?

Yes, the students on our team are the driving force behind the design and fabrication of our robot. Coaches are very involved as well, with coaches and upperclassmen instructing the younger students and rookies.
