At my university we had a racing team that competed against other colleges in like a mini F1 type league. Every year they would start with a giant empty table and build their race car from scratch. The team was very competitive , i think they won the league championship every year I was there, and it was considered a pretty big deal in the engineering school to get on with them. I remember they had guys who could weld coke cans together and every machine tool you could imagine and skills to match. One year, a kid on their team got picked up by Ferrari or some other big racing team and became a minor celebrity on campus. (My university was by no means “top tier”) I was in a robotics competition team and they let me use their machine shop so I got to know them.
