Re: School Shop Policy

You might call my school a "rich" school. We have a machine shop, a wood shop and two auto shops. We are allowed to work in all four of them but we mostly are in the wood shop because that is where the band saws are.

Anyways, our head robotics coach is also a wood shop teacher, so he trusts us with all the equipment with the power on.

Re: School Shop Policy

I think our school has some policy similar, but its never been brought up. People can basically use what they want, and I figure they could get themselves into trouble, but most people ask if they dont know how to use something. We have an ageing machine shop, with drill presses, grinders, power hacksaw, lathe, bandsaws (almunim, wood, lexan), cutting wheels, new cutoff saw, pneuamtic ratchets, ect. and a full wood shop. Were pretty lucky, but we only have a tabletop miling mahcine, no acess to a bridgeport or a real cnc unit.

Re: School Shop Policy

It seems that SPAM is very lucky. We have an entire host of machines in our work area, and a great machinist to help us out.

It also helps that the shop instructor is quite interested in our projects.
The only problem with our team though is that I am the only kid that has taken any shop classes at our school. Also, I am the Shop teachers TA for wood shop and he has told us that if we need to have a student get trained on an extra machine, he can show me how to use it and then someone besides a mentor can make parts for our robot. I think it is funny though that Kris and I have used way more tools than our school will allow us to use.

Re: School Shop Policy

we dont use the shop at the school, we go to a shop about 30 minutes away form the school. Pretty much all the tools that are there is all we need (Mill, drill press, chop saw etc.) The machine shop at the school is way too cramped to be used. As far as the policy on tools, on the mill and chop saw we have to have supervision of one of our mentors, but on the drill press, band saw, and other machinery as long as we know how to use it properly we dont need much supervision.

Re: School Shop Policy

We are lucky to have a shop that's very well equipped, but the policy is the same. Unless you are trained you can't operate any of the machines in the shop. But we start our season to wards the end of September and we take the time to train every single person to have a specialty machine and train them on all the machines in the shop. We have a lot of machines in our shop (doubles of almost everything) so it takes a while to train our fabrication team ( which is about 25 people). the best thing to do is probably have everyone trained before the season starts.

That my 2 cents worth anyways.

Re: School Shop Policy

From 487.
Our school no longer has a shop of any kind.
No storage space for the robot.
It still has that rule.
We are building the robot in my living room & dining room.
Count your blessings.

Re: School Shop Policy

We don't have anything but a woodshop at school, it has all the woodworking tools you'd need except a lathe. Since we are a rookie team we actually have been working out at our teachers personal residence in his shop. We are allowed to use any and all tools, including a metal chop saw, bandsaws, drill presses, angle grinders and other various hand tools such as his cordless drills and such. It's a good setup but we don't have any welding or CNC equipment. We have a few students with certifications and tools including a plasma cutter and a mig welder.

Not to bad for a rookie team i guess.

Re: School Shop Policy

im not sure what the acually policy is at our school, and by that i mean the one we work at (i come from a diffrent one and the only places we have tools is ag classes) but we dont have any thing fun like lathes or mills, so me and my dad get stuck doing virtually all the machining at my house cause my dad is a machinist, and we have a small machine shop in my garage.

Re: School Shop Policy

yes, our team requires a "certified adult (over 21)" to be in the room

All of the students on the Build team are Georgia Tech certified so we are all good to go, but a teacher is always there just to supervise. not to bad of a problem for us.

Safety FIRST everything else Second
