Go to Post After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. - negfrequency [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.
