At Madera and Los Angeles, Team 973 the Greybots from Atascadero had a beautifully-designed and built pit area, that they rolled out of their trailer and into their 10x10 area. The extent of the pit setup consisted of removing a couple bungee cords, and plugging in an electrical cord, and they were ready to run a competition. In less than 5 minutes, their pit area is fully set up. In fact, it rolls out of their trailer fully set up. Virtually nothing else is needed to be done once in the venue. During finals, over the course of 5 minutes they were able to move it to field-side, and they were back in business just as if they were back in the pit area, with no difference whatsoever. It has electrical and network all wired in, and air and vacuum plumbed in, and big mushroom e-stops for safety. It's a masterpiece they've dubbed the "Super Pit" and I'm hoping they post more information about it online.

Anyhow, I'm calling this style of pit area a "roll-off" pit area. I'd love to see pictures of other teams that do something similar, particularly from teams who own a trailer they roll it out of.
