now THAT is a nice pit, complete with a fire extinguisher, hardhats, and caution tape!

That pit was BEAUTIFUL. Everything was so organized and neat it was like you put it up and never touched it. :D Great job keeping it all so awesome, CORE. You guys rule. ;)

1 question.

How hard is it to ship?

Nice clean design, I would like to do something like this, but shipping is a problem.

Thanks,
Wilmo

Looks great I love the tape to show where everything goes
Are your students or mentors properly trained to use the Fire extinguisher?

Re: pic: C.O.R.E. Pit
 

Of course we all know how to use the fire extinguisher! We did win two safety awards... :yikes:

Thanks for all of the comments, we really appreciate it!

Looks like a nice pit.

What are the hardhats for though?

Re: pic: C.O.R.E. Pit
 

Wow that pit looks AMAZING! :ahh: This gives me some ideas...

Re: pic: C.O.R.E. Pit
 

Thanks for the compliments on the Pit.

Concerning the shipping question:
The Pit disassembles into 12 panels that measure approximately 4' x 4 1/2'. Some of the panels are hinged together for easy assembly. We also designed/created u brackets with wheels that all the panels fit into for easy transporting.

If you are in Atlanta, please stop by. We would love to show it to you.

The team takes great pride in showing the Pit and it is an evolving project for them.

In 11 years of attending FIRST events, this is the safest, cleanest and most organized pit I have seen.

These guys were across from our pit in St. Louis, and our pit crew was in awe.

This pit is something to marvel over - you know this because even the resident ghost is also amazed by it! I mean it must be a big deal to take a break from an eternity of haunting to check out this pit set-up!

Re: pic: C.O.R.E. Pit
 

In reference to the use of the fire extinguisher, every team member has ongoing training in all aspects of safety and the use of the fire extinguisher was one training session held. We take safety very seriously at CORE and the training on safety started before the build season and continues at every meeting we hold. Our safety captain has made this his passion.

Very Nice :)

It's part of the drivers' uniform...complete with bright green & orange vests. They come in handy when a clumsy person stands up on the field after placing a robot and gets bonked on the head by another team's robot's arm...it happened to me a few times

Wow. This really is the most clean, organized pit I have ever seen. Impressive. Keep up the good work.
