How big is your workspace?

[pschre]

This goes out particularly to teams who competed at the 2010 NYC Regional:
How much workspace do you have? In square feet, as close as you can tell. I'm interested in machine shop area, practice fields if you build em (full or partial), and let's throw in storage area too. If you wouldn't mind sharing with me. You can reply in-thread or PM me.

In the near future I'm going to sit down with my principal and update him on all the good things that the robotics team has done as an FRC competitor, an extracurricular for the students, an ambassador of the school to the neighborhood, etc.

One thing I want to stress is our need to expand spatially. We have about 375 sq. ft. and are surrounded and tantalized by about 3 times as much storage space belonging to our athletic department, which seems much more spread out than it needs to be. Our space is so small that we almost need to disassemble old robots, and while we always quest to increase membership, it is hard to manage more than 6 people in the workshop at the same time.

So among other points and besides rationalizing that we need WORK space which may be a little more important than storage of old trophies, varsity letters, shoeboxes etc., I want to back myself up with some data if possible, that may show a correlation between square footage of workspace a team has and their ranking/achievements at our local competition this past weekend. Input will be much appreciated.
