MAchine Shop at Nats

Will There Be a machine shop at nationals and will the teams be able to do their own repairs

I’m not positive on a FIRST provided machine shop but I know many teams will be bringing a lot of tools besides hand tools.

Team 247 has a “machine shop on wheels.” Basically a half semi-truck (semi semi?) filled with a lathe, drill press, band saw, just about everything most teams could need. Also check this thread for other teams that will br bringing stuff.

You will probably recieve a flyer from 217 with a list when at competition. Good Luck.

I am quite certain that 247 will be happy that you informed the world that they have a machine shop on wheels. Of course they may not like it if FIRST finds out since FIRST does not allow teams to bring shops on wheels due to insurance issues (ruling during 2000 season).
