If a machine breaks while you’re using it (or you find it broken), please tag it as out of order and what’s wrong post to the appropriate Slack Channel for the tool. No one will be upset at you for breaking something if you were using it safely, but they will get upset if you knew it was broken and didn’t say anything as that’s time lost we could have been fixing it for everyone else.

Each member gets one locker. You can claim one by labelling it with your name. A lock is optional, but your name is not. Unlabelled lockers run the risk of having their lock cut off by the board if we can’t identify who it belongs to, but we really don’t want to have to do that
