We set ours up with a few main elements to keep it simple and organized:

1) All the tools are kept in or on two large tool chests. The chests are wheeled for ease of transportation. They are placed on either side of the pit. We built charging stations into one of the chests so the batteries are kept tidy and out of the way.

2) We lay down puzzle piece style foam matting (nice to walk on and prevents slipping or damaging dropped items)

3) The robot always stays on the cart and is on a platform at arm level, it's wheels can spin freely, so we can test the drive train and autonomous (without frisbees of course) without having to take the robot to the practice field.

4) We have a fold-up felt board to serve as the backdrop for the pit, we hang various marketing posters on it.

5) The tables provided in the pits are generally very large, we have a smaller table that we bring with us and we return the provided table to the venue. This allows for more walking space around the robot.

When you're working fast to make repairs, it's easy for tools to pile up on work spaces. This decreases efficiency because it's harder for others to find those tools and they take up coveted work space. Be sure to put back all tools immediately after use.

Hope this helps
