How does your team find work space?

Only until they can successfully have it thawed.

1793 is lucky enough to have a principal that is at least 100% behind the team from the very beginning, and based at a school with a fabrication room off in a corner connected to the computer tech room. Fabrication room, not shop. We don't have any heavy machinery, but we do have Ed, our mentor and connection to the BAE Shipyard.

Nah, I think it's kept in the fridge that's a room or two over from the freezer.

Or it might be in the freezer... depends what it is.

Then again, it might be in one of the programming rooms or upstairs in the loft area.

461 has its own tech shop which is our teacher's and main mentor's classroom... it's actually 2 rather large rooms, one a shop with all the tools, the other - a classroom with white boards, seating, etc, which is also a computer lab for the classes he teaches... the shop has an exit to the outside where one of his classes built a shed to store old robots and such in... also, we have rented space to use for practice fields in the past, used our local elementary school's gym, and our high school gyms also... you can always ask the other teams in the area for help also. we've provided space for other teams in the past (and still do) and let them use our shop and other facilities for free

Team 675 has always had a problem of not having enough storage room/workspace because we have a very small shop. We have 2 large rafters in the shop that we use to store materials and items that we rarely use. We had an old shipping crate outside the school. We also got 2 5'X10' storage units donated to us to store some of our stuff, such as the shipping crate and old wood shop tools we are unable to get rid of. We have been keeping our this past season's robot in the teacher's storage room.

Hopefully by getting things stored you are able to make more storage room!

781 has the use of half of the school basement for storage of old robots, materials, and tools. We also have a portable clasroom set up as our shop, with drill presses, saws, etc. This portable classroom works very well, because we can work outside of school hours and on weekends when the school is closed.
