I was actually thinking of something similar as I'm drawing crate dimensions instead of working. We desperately need some organization so might as well.

Our robot is 43 lbs, so there's pretty much a very slim chance of going over the limit. It's also the reason why I want to put tools in there, because I want to just build a crate for future use rather than building one to size for our robot. I can fill in the extra space with tools.
