Facilities benchmarking

[EricH]

We have a sponsor who lets us build in unused space. We just have to keep the room neat and not build when a film crew is inside. This year, though, we moved a lot of our operation to a vacant building next to (and owned by) the church that runs our school. Made life a whole lot easier in terms of access and friends coming in. We'll probably stay until we need to leave due to plans to tear the building down (which haven't been finalized yet).

Old robots are testbeds for code and prototypes. We have three "immobilized" robots that can't move due to motor failure or we just don't want them to move. Another one was used as a prototype until our practice robot was running.
