How does your team find work space?

Hello All,

Here is a video of a rookie team, and their facility along with interview of 2 adults that has supported their efforts along the way :

This team is in the city, it is a Catholic school. They have been trying to form a team for at least one year until they were able to get a space. As you can see from the video this space is just for the robotics team. It took some time but they persevered. Some mentors from other teams even gave up on them saying things such as "they got asbestos on the room, they won't be able to make it" or "they lost their mentor, they won't be able to make it".......but the students and their parents kept their faith.

A key to get space is to get support from the teachers and administration.

Before they had a room, the team "shadowed" another team....

Cheers,
Marcos.
