Re: Bag-n-Tag and Crate Shipping
We did the same as the others in this thread.
We built an "H" shaped 2x4 frame to set the robot up on that frame inside the crate. This got the weight off the wheels. In each corner of the crate at the bottom is an eye bolt. We used ratchet straps to strap over the robot with some foam pieces to the eye bolts in an "X" pattern.
It was very difficult to get the robot in the crate with a bag, and very difficult to find a place to try and ratchet strap your robot down while in the bag as well. So good luck with that.
If bag and tag is successful, hopefully Championship next time will be bag and tag too. That would be great.
