How to Mount Things

[cjtenny]

Well, I bought us 3 $5 hacksaws at Home Depot on Friday... we have a wood bandsaw we "borrowed" from the physics department (our teacher-leader's a physics teacher), and some other stuff, but I'm still waiting to get reimbursed by the school. (Edit: not for $15, I spent about $90)

We still plan to buy:
-Metal bandsaw blades
-Cordless drill (we have a 1/3 HP corded one from an MIT swapfest though)
-Clamps (we have 2...)
-Drill press
-More wrenches
-Belt sander
-Waterjet (jk; although we semi-have-access to one at MIT, for some money.) (Myself and 3 friends who started this team worked on MIT's team 97 last year)... we probably won't use it much, though, as our design so far doesn't call for much waterjetted stuff.

And of course, McMaster / IFI / AM robot part orders that'll take like a week to go through the school and then a bit more to arrive.

All in all, looking good so far.
