Re: Drill presses and bandsaws back in the pits

If they're not going to let teams use them in their own pits, then I think this is a wonderful solution. There's no reason that a simple cutting operation has to take an official request, and there's no reason that the nice NASA machinists need to spend their time making such cuts, while teams with more complicated problems are waiting. I hope this gets put into place at more regionals
