Re: End of Year Purchases

Once again, going down the list of replies:

Beth Sweet: Our biggest non-construction team is Spirit, and they're likely getting a new printer. We also have an extra account for Spirit stuff, so that's set. Unfortunately we can't "put away" any of this money, it has to be spent.

chrisinmd: How much skill goes into using a mill/lathe? From what I understand, you really have to know what you're doing. Without any engineering mentors, I doubt that the team members would be able to utilize a mill/lathe the way other teams can. However, if it's not too tough to learn, we might have to look into buying one. Any suggestions on where to get one?

Donut: No, this does not have to be used to purchase tools. The two accounts are dedicated to "Building Supplies" and "Computer Supplies." I suppose we could go for sensors, but in the three years that the team has been competing, our first time to use a sensor was in the elimination rounds this year, and that didn't turn out well...

nycpunk: We have a bunch of storage space, shelves included. Good idea though.
