For any team in the Auburn Hills, MI area go to Target or WalMart they have a ton of them. We got all 45 and so did another team soon after. I'm assuming Truck #68 got 'em cause they're right down the road.

They are green. Were purchased about a year ago.

Check the number then. If it's close to the same dimensions you could use it, but for $3.44 it's worth it to have the right ones.

Called all over town many times, found at wal-mart 20 miles away $3.44 a bin, not in blue color, many other colors, manager said they can't keep them on the shelves, and it's got nothing to do with robotics.

The manual states the dimensions of the bins as 73 quart capacity, model 1730, and approximately 24-1/4" long x 17 1/4" wide x 15-3/4" high. Oh, and the color is Glacier (blue).

Who cares about the color anyways? I say if you can find them, buy them. I predict a national shortage.

I don't know... the little hampsters powering your robot might get confused by the change of colors.

Most of the stores around here have them stacked by the hundreds. I can't see it being a huge problem for target or walmart. However, I don't know how many Targets there are in other regions.

My family has been using them for storage for years. we have about 50 stacked up and sitting around our house.

i counted roughly 350 of these bins at the cost cutters in Hillsborough, NJ.

lucky you. the only place around here that carries sterilite <i>and</i> that size is walmart....luckily they had that sale, and it's january, so they always stock up on those types of bins, because people use them to store christmas decorations and the like. if anyone is having a problem finding them, check walmart.

for anyone on long island i know tat a lot of the hardwre stores here on the east end have or can order the boxes for you
