Re: Bag-n-Tag and Crate Shipping

Just built our crate today. We installed a pair of 2x4s on the bottom (lag-screwed thru to the skids) to hold up the bot off its wheels, and strapped it down with ratchet straps to eyebolts on the 2x4s. The straps criss-cross over the top of the shooter. The bumpers are pressed tight against three sides of the crate as well. We'll see if she survives. It feels OK so far.

As could be expected, one of the eyebolts snagged the bag and ripped it as we put the bot into place. So remember to keep the bag out of the way!
