Other teams even do more. Some of the more impressive pits last year were from teams 48, 103, 175, and 343 (among others).

Team 48's pit was two pits down the aisle from the TechnoKats' pit in Florida (thanks for the compliment, Andy). You can see it in the background of Andy's picture. I've attached a picture of our pit area at the Canadian Regional. Here are some of the key features of the pit wall we built:
1. Modular extruded aluminum and Lexan construction - easy to set up and tear down - we could pack and ship the entire wall in a crate along with our robot cart and tools.
2. Overhead lighting and scrolling LED message display for match times/scores, team information, etc.
3. Central lockable storage bin and plenty of shelves for tools, laptops, and other items. This kept our pit area free of clutter and gave our team plenty of space to work on the robot.
4. Delphi banner and posters with our team name, logo, and pics of our robot, Xtremachen5. I've seen other teams put up similar posters in their pits which contain Chairman's Award-relevant information. We also had a TV/VCR (not shown) that we used to replay match video and display our Chairman's Award tape.
