Re: Crate Help
Here is a picture of our crate at Championships last year. It is now in its 5th year and still going strong.
Its basic features are that it splits in half with shelves that can be stowed to accommodate the robot. It has 4x4s on the bottom to assist with forklifting and we use a removable transportation adapter that can be attached to our cart to move the robot around. We used a thinner plywood on the sides for weight and have transported a robot, bumpers, banners and a robot cart in the same crate in the past.
In the pits, we use the bottom half for tote storage and the top hals as a work space. We install lighting on the top to add additional lighting in the pits but they can be easily removed and positioned on the robot if needed.
I have a .zip file with detailed pictures and can email it to you, and anyone else who desires. I think there are currently 5-10 teams who are using this design.
EVERYDAY!
