Re: Build Season in the Classroom

We have traditionally have built most of the robot in our schools auto shop and then finished at a small (basic) machine shop in my garage. Unfortunately, that has changed a little since our shop mentor has to leave early and we have no one who is "shop certified" to supervise us. So, more and more of the robot has been built in my garage.

The shop is useful to build during the school day and we have so decent equipment there (bandsaw, power tools, lathes, bridgeport mill, tig) but its not amazing ( no CNC :-( ). The tig usually get brought to my hose so we can still weld.

This year, my dad bought a warehouse space for his small construction company, so we had a lot of space to build a practice field and just work. the only dray back it is it is that it is a 15 min drive form the high school to the next town over. we were mostly there towards the end of build when we were doing a lot of testing.
