Re: Best Pit You've Seen

I decided to revive this old thread! I see so many threads about robot carts, I think it's time pit setups get some attention!

Team 68's pit setup consists of our "Boom Box", which has space for 4 of our big totes, Slots for a ton of containers with fasteners, a countertop with (if my memory serves me) 10 outlets, and our boom: A big boom made out of pipe that contains an ethernet cable for safe tethering in the pits. It reaches high above the robot out of everyone's way (so that head injuries are avoided). No more ethernet cords laying askew on the pit floor!

We also have our biggest (portable) tool box (nicknamed "Little Red". There is a big red, but it is too big to transport anymore). We also have a wall with pegs for hanging up important tools on. It also features an LED marquee.

We also had a board for pinning up buttons on, holding electronic picture frames with slideshows featuring our team, as well as motivational posters and other things.

Some cool things I've seen:

280 (TnT): Installed Mini-Fridge. Also has a fan that consists of the big fans included in the KOP.

Many teams have tents.

And of course, buttons.

What about your team?
