You do need a lot of space though, so bringing a cheap shelving unit can help you get a lot of storage space in a small footprint. I also like having a laptop in the pit so people who are there can watch matches. Don't forget spare parts and battery chargers, either.
The NASA machine shop has been awesome in all our experiences, we normally have printed them out a drawing (since we have the cad for all of our parts).

It prevents confusion and a properly tolerance drawing should help them versus a person telling them what needs to be done. We can't thank NASA enough for their support.
