Ha...it's not cold out. It's like 0F out or something...I still don't need a coat. Driving while shivering uncontrollably is hard...especially when the windshield refreezes and the transmission won't shift. Yay for cold!
Anyways, to get back on topic...
We use plywood and 2x4's for ours, I believe. It's not very fancy but it works. We made a fancy little sign for the side. It's very pretty. Screw paint  I recommend using the max. crate size...since there's not much of a point to making a smaller one.
We ship the robot on foam so the wheels are off the ground and so it can't slide easily. I think we put a layer of bubble wrap around it to ease any bumping.
