[Cynette]

Since our crate had been an integral part of 1511's pit layout we did a major pit revamping and for the end of the year designed our MPT - Multi-Purpose Thingy.

It is a shelving unit that is sized to match plastic storage totes of various sizes. We put matching identifiers on the totes and the shelves so items get returned to the proper storage locations. Some of the totes are designed to be grab and go, like the drive train box - containing everything you will need to repair or replace a broken drive train. This comes in handy when other teams need help of a specific nature. When MPT is in the pit, it gives us flat surfaces to work, plain surfaces to hang posters or pit decorations. When it returns to our shop, it acts as a storage unit in our closet.
