 You will find the LRI, Head Ref, & FTA don't have a lot of time for popcorn during a competition. :) - FrankJ [more] |

Re: What is in you dream FIRST robotics team shop?
I have really enjoyed the "dream" facilities everyone is posting. That being said a friend and I built a racecar (scratch built not conversion) with a 60 year old mill, a 90+ year old lathe (6 speed belt drive Logan), and a $500 welder.
The Bees currently enjoy a cramped space with salvaged machines (the were all set to be scrapped before we "saved" them). Personally I really enjoy our shop and would only get rid of the "red menace" which is a band saw that has been brought back from the dead too many times. I personally believe it is a Zombie Bandsaw thirsty for blood. j/k More important than fancy machinery are people that know the basics. While really cool parts are built by fancy machines, Great robots are built by great people. BTW I think Team 45 is cloning Andy. Anybody who has pitted next to them should agree that they are a first class students running a first class team. As a mentor I was very inspired to see them in action.

Somehow we've all missed one of the more important things: good speakers and music! I also seem to have forgotten the important high powered shop vac with a multitude of attachments for getting in the knick-knacks our shop machines.

Re: What is in you dream FIRST robotics team shop?
Our shop had 3 CNC's and my favorite of all was our Haas CNC lathe SL-10. As long as you have one of those babies for me to use, i'll be happy
