We're an international team and the pit is a difficult thing for us. Since we can't load a trailer full with parts, machines & truss structures, everything has to fit in 1 box & when we're overweight we pay lots of money.
Since last year we designed and built a complete flightcase together with Faes Cases. It's multifunctional since it can go from 1 flightcase into 3 sub parts. Forming our robot cart (Included with tool drawers), programming table/worktable in the pit and a huge table for judging stuff. (Pictures attached)
For this season we're looking into a pit structure which is light weight, fits in our flightcase and has the look & feeling of our team and robot. We're currently looking into a square carbon fibre structure. Currently working on the project together with Refitech. They're visiting us wednesday to discuss the final plans. (Pictures attached)
And making the walls out of a vinyl kinda thingy. We kinda like to keep the sides open to have some interaction with our neighbours  |
Looks great any ideas on price. Excited to see the pit and compete with you guys at nyc. Again if you need batteries or anything else we can help you out.
