Where do you actually build your robot and who does the building???

[Jeff Waegelin]

It was interesting going back through this thread and seeing some people I hadn't heard from in a long time...

Anyways, here with the Rat Pack, we build our robot out of the high school metal shop. The school shop teacher and our group of college mentors lead the build process, but the high school students do most of the work. We don't have much engineering assistance at the moment, so we basically do the whole thing ourselves. We can't do as many fancy things, but it's great experience for the kids.

umm 1923 more or less built a good portion of their robot in team 25's lab, because the school is umm weird, but we think we have fixed that

Wow, this is an ancient thread! I didn't realize quite how old until seeing the talk of team 811 being in their rookie year...

In any case, Team 1519 builds their robot in the basement of the home of one of our coaches. Our high-tech power tools consist of a drill press, a grinder, and a table saw. We have no choice but to employ the KISS Principle in all of our design!
