Re: New Robotics Lab design needs your input

Listing some tools and saying that's all you need is probably a bit too general...we have access to a sheet metal shear and brake, and a turret punch, and used them extensively in our build. Of course, our robot was designed around the equipment available! so it uses lots of sheet metal and polycarbonate.

The point is that you can build a robot many different ways, and which equipment you decide to buy will influence how you build your robot (and vice-versa). If a major emphasis of the classroom work is on computer aided design, then you'd want more computer controlled equipment; if the emphasis is more on basic mechanical design principles, then you can get by with mostly manual equipment. If you will get into welding, then having welding stuff is nice. You could make the robots mostly of wood, using wood shop equipment.
