Re: Battery Charging Station Ideas
Last year, my team made our own sort of battery "shelf" out of plywood. The front was completely open, and the back had open spaces to run the charger end of the cable through the back where it was secured for easy plugging and unplugging.

It was wide enough to hold three chargers on the bottom shelf and three batteries on the top shelf, and screws were put into it for a power strip to be slid on. We made rope handles to carry it with. Granted, it wasn't the most structurally sound, but that was more of a team error. Luckily it lasted through competition before breaking.
