i wish my team had time to make pretty crates like that

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

Nice job! :) Are all the sides decorated? Apparently you also have some good artists on your team also.
Our crates were painted two years ago by one of our sponsors who owns a sign shop. Our students base coat painted the crates and our sponsor then showed up one night and painted it so it looks like a robot breaking out of the crates. Each side of our crates are different.

yeah same here...

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

I've been thinking for the past 3 weeks, ever since our team built a new crate, that there ought to be a "creative crate" award. This one would be a contender....Nice job.

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

There probably wont be a FIRST crate design award anytime soon, but we could have a delphi contest, although most teams havent posted pics of their crate. The best part of 449's crate is alreay up, here:

And other pictures of the crate (and robot) are here:

Thanks! We have one main student artist on our team that does this. (Breanne M) She does her time on the robot then goes and paints. Towards the end of the season Vernn also helped out. Every side of the crate is painted, except for the bottom of course. As far as I know the LA regional is going to have a crate contest of some sort, one of the reasons why we painted the inside the way we did. Thanks again for the compliments! :cool:

Looks good, here is apic of team 168's crate, the whole thing is painted, everyone on the team puts their handprint on one side, and signs another side.

Very cool! Looks tie dye and 60's!

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

Well, we are the flashbacks... We always tie dye all of our shirts on our own (like 300 shirts one year, the whole woodshop was covered in tie dyed shirts!), and we make lovebeads to give out to everyone at the competitions. Even the engineers need to make some, by the time the season is over not one of us can even look at a bead.

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

That's great. Gives me a picture identifying your team. Hope to see you at nationals?

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

Actually Jay, it was painted by the sponsor's nephew that came in to our shop for two days and helped us do the painting. But the oddball side was painted by myself and a few others. :D

Even the inside???

Just wondering.

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

I must have missed that. I remember when Mr. Mikush showed up and painted the sides.

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

Of course:
The Inside

It was painted to match our "Spirit Room,". I am going to ask if I am allowed to tell that whole story yet, ill get back to ya'll on that.

Here are the other sides:

Side 1
Side 2&door
Side 3

For side 3 you can see the orange door on the right, a Sea Hawk and Mustang are jumping through our logo. Those are the school's mascots that our team is made up of. I dont think anyone understands that we are two rival schools. LOL, when the people from my School (Redondo Union High School) here that we are joined with Mira Costa they are like disgusted. Its fun to poke fun at each other because of the rivalry that usually occurs during football games and stuff. LOL, yeah...just giving you guys some background information. :cool:

Re: pic: 294 Crate top Stairway to Heaven
 

The inside is interesting. Are you planning on displaying your crate in the pits? I'm kinda lost on the "Spirit Room" , I've heard Redhead Jokes mention it before though.
