Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

For the last six years our robotics team has been growing in numbers, and skill levels. We need to custom shape guards and covers to protect our robots components. At this time we simply use an angle grinder and pliers. This is not very efficient or safe.

We need to have a better way to cut, bend and shape sheet metal in our workshop.

These items (break, cutter and other tools) will make these tasks much more efficient, safe and save us significant time for years to come. Please help us improve our workshop.
