We don't really machine anything on our team. The most er "advanced" thing I would say we have is a drill press which I'm scared of so I really don't know what they use it for. I mean yeah we have a machine shop at one of our schools (a small one, none the less but we didn't really use it). Most of our materials do come from Home Depot or another store of the like. We did a pretty decent job this year at UCF. We seeded 32 (of 51). I think we could of done better if part of our robot wasn't snapped off in one of the practice matches, but then again...PVC breaks easy so we should of seen it coming.

We had I think the similar stuff, from your explanation that is.
