Re: Pit Designs

You are running down to a very small amount of time to build these now, as they will interfere with building your robot now. What I did with team 772 was make a pit of of extrusion and sheet metal. They have drawers, a huge bottom that has sliding doors, locking caster wheels (LOVE THESE!) and are easy to set up, take down and load (into a trailer with a ramp, they are heavy).

Let me knwo what you are using for constraints. Like how are you getting them there (ex. Trailer with/without a ramp, and size of trailer). do you want it to be one solid piece (ex. each cabinet) or do you want it to collapse for an easy way to store it. what are your cost constraints (please don't say you don't have one, because I know you're not gonna want to spend $10 000 on them). How long do you want it to last? do you want it for just this year or many years? Also tell me what else you have that can affect the design (where is it being stored?).

I can help you design it if you'd like, I designed 772's pit when I was in great 9 and it is a masterpiece to me.
