Re: how many teams are off site?

I guess we are lucky then, we are building every thing (robot field crate) at our sponsers location. Just yesterday we had a snow day and we still meet, because FIRST doesnt care about the weather, and we still need a working robot.

Re: how many teams are off site?

Cyber Blue 234 is lucky enough to have a tech lab in our school where we have lathes, bandsaws, a mill, and all of the other machinery needed in fabrication. This year we also acquired the old wood shop which is large enough to contain an entire field, or at least most of it. When our school is cancelled because of a snow day, we can still meet, just as long as it's after 3 PM.

Re: how many teams are off site?

The X-Cats work in a sort-of workshop warehouse next to an old warehouse that Xerox used to own. The Al Sigl center is in the building we occupy and we have to share the parking lot with them, which can be a headache at times.

Re: how many teams are off site?

our team meets at Gleason during the build period, and we missed a meeting this wednesday because the school canceled all afterschool activities on account of weather

which meant no bus to Gleason

we are only meeting on wed and sat - so missing a day really stings!

Re: how many teams are off site?

The SPAM Pit is a small building that is made of metal, I think, because no ones' cell phones work inside it, not even half way in the doorway. Pratt gave us a bunch of very large machines, I think a mill, bandsaw, jigsaw, and a bunch of other funny names. The middle of the room consists of an area to drive the robot around, but was too small to set up last year's ramp. The other end has a storage closet with our older robots and other stuff, it is more like a museum. Also, there is a software room there with a few computers that don't really work. Everyone just brings their laptops. The building is behind one of the two schools on our team. The school has a huge covered area outside that we could set up the ramp last year.

Our team usually doesn't meet when there is no school, but our meeting planning is very informal and we just say "we might meet tomorrow night to do test out whatever". During the build season, we meet just about every night.
