We start with a meeting to get everyones ideas and after the students construct the playing field. This takes place in a Hammond school building built in the 30s in an old band room. This location will almost hold a playing field and has several rooms we can store parts and tools and a room we use with the grinder and sander and saws that are loud. We hold all of our meetings in this room except for those working in a PC computer lab in another part of this same building. (The Hammond Area Career Center) This room has a very high ceiling so it works well for handling balls and other flying objects. Its located on the second floor and everything has to be carried up and down two flights of stairs. (goals, parts, tools, robot etc.)
Most all of the building takes place in this old band room with Bill Beatty and his engineers, several parents, and most all of our students in attendance 5 nights per week and all day Saturday and Sunday for the entire build phase. After the initial meeting everyones ideas are compiled and a basic design takes shape. This is more defined by Mr. Beatty. The engineers and our students and parents start putting together the new robot. The students do really build a portion of the robot but the engineers have the final say. The construction takes place on one end of this room on the playing field. Any machining required is done at Beatty Machine and Bemcor or several other generous machine shops in town (Brian Beatty's buddies) but prmarilly the Beatty shop. The Hammond Schools location does not have machine shop facilities. Students and Mr. Noble (a Beatty engineer) will construct all the electrical systems
All testing and driving practice are performed in this same room. (after all the metal shavings and the White Castle boxes are cleaned up) We have human player practice in our parking lot and also in this room too.

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

we use a chemistry lab at our school, and is entirely designed and built by students

there's only 1 real mentor for our team, and he just makes sure we don't kill ourselves in the lab

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

Team 1516 is entirely done by students, we have one Mentor and he has no say in any aspect of the Robot, nor does he work on the robot at all. We have no engineers, no machinest. Al fabrication is done by students all designing is done by students and all decisions are made by students, we take great pride in these facts.

i just noticed the same thing

our team builds in our high school shop. it has some band saws, drill presses, and a lathe. we have 2 mentors, one for the robot and another to help with programming. our menor doesnt nessecarily design the robot but he stears us to the right desin. most of the fabrication is done by students and only done by mentors when under a big time cruch or something to complicated for a student to do.

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

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.

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

(I spent like 10 minutes making an ASCII for our workroom, then the forum messes up the spacing so oh well.)

Anyway, we have a room about 12' X 25' w/ 3' lab counter lining the two long walls and one short wall. We have a drill press, band saw, scroll saw, and grinder on the counter.

Robots designed and built completely by students.

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

1023 works in the Auto Shop of our school, with the wood shop and machine shop across the hall. The students design/fabricate/manufacture all aspects of the robot with guidence from parents and our sponsor, Midwest Fluid Power and an engineer from MTS. MFP's mentor knows the 8020 product well and helps us use it to its highest potential. The mentor from MTS helps us do design work so we can get what we want on paper. The rest of our mentors, excpet our coach - a math teach, are all parents of students on the team who help us out when we run into major issues (things just don't work like we thought, we can't diagnose the problem, etc)

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

We have a GM Powertrain central building right down the street from our school and we go there during FIRST season to build.

And yes, our students design, build, and manufacture the robot. We have the adults do the bulk of the work in the machine shop but we are able to do some of it.

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

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.

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

For FVC, our team (1070) builds it in a small classroom...or each other's houses.. at that point.. with very little parts.. it's pretty easy. and our students build our FVC bot. so i'm proud of us .

For FRC, since we are definitely talking about a lot of BIG machines and bigger parts.. then we work at a lab at CSUN, cuz our high school doesn't have one for us. and our students build the robot, with a little help from our mentors for ideas and tips on if we're doing something wrong. But YES we build our ROBOt!

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

This year we will be working in a classroom. Kinda a bummer as studnets use it so we will have to clean up after each meeting. Also its a biology lab so its not like theres any machining equitment in it.

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

Last year we built our robot in a team member's garage . This year we've been in touch with the district in hopes of getting our own workshop and we'll know the verdict sometime this week.

As for who builds the robot - its a combined effort. We have the students and the mentors working together.
