I sincerely hope you mean the bot THE STUDENTS built. After all, nothing would as sad as a professional engineer building a robot to beat kids with none of their training or experience, in the process elbowing the students their supposed to be mentoring out of the way.

We have discussed this again and again and again. it is off topic in this thread.

I'm not sure what the situation is in the the school but this year team 637 is sharing a classroom with interior dec....

We have 3 closets in the back we unfold a table get to work and when were done we pack it all back up. Anythign that needs to get machined is done in the woodshop. I'm not saying its a good setup but when it comes to losing a team or having to spend some more time cleaning and packing up i'll do the extra work.

As for the engineers find a local shop/company that manufactures anything. Our sponsor builds high pressure valves and has no expierence in robotics but they are still a great resource. Even a local hardware store can be invaluable, there are knowledgeable people everywhere they just arent always rubberstamped as engineers.

Good luck
