*chuckle* Actually, we did just that. We now have a semi-local (40 minute drive, but hey we're not picky!) prototyping some new dewalt style transmissions for us and they've promised to work with us down the road too.

Let's keep steering this back onto the road of improving first. What if FIRST made a directory of machine shops that help out other teams (with their permission of course) so that in a pinch, rookie or "new" teams could get something done if they really needed it?
