Re: [FTC] Preparation of a pit area

I would guess it will still be similar, though the tables might be better suited to being in a pit (ie. long rectangles rather than circles). I don't know for sure because Minnesota's State event is in a high school. But I would guess from what you say, they will be more strict on how much space your pit takes up, so I'd still try to have a cart to work on and go with a tabletop display, likely you will be given a table. Also try to plan how much space your stuff will take up because although pit displays are nice for when judges come around, you still need space to work on the robot and being cramped is not fun.
