[DonRotolo]

Start with thoughts of how to store multiple batteries. How many batteries? Depends on your team, but several at least.

Then consider how you're going to move those batteries from wherever to your pit. Wheels? Sherpas? Come up with an idea. Remember batteries weigh a lot, especially 'several' batteries.

Then consider charging. How many need to be charged at once? Where will the chargers go, and do they get enough ventilation air (they do get warm) there? Are they mounted into the 'station' or just put in there, and if mounted how? (Velcro, screws, clips, something). How do they get electricity? Can you see the lights on the chargers (you need to...)?

Work through these considerations. During that thought process, your team will definitely come up with more questions, which should be answered (ideally on paper).

Then search the interweb and ChiefDelphi for images of other teams' battery charging stations, which will give you some ideas, so you can then use the answers to the questions above to a way to build a battery charging station.

Our first station was essentially a bookshelf on a hand-truck. The batteries were carried low, and then moved to the top where the chargers were at competition. A power strip for the 6 chargers completed it.

Let us know what design you came up with please!
