We simply built 1 sturdy wooden crate (it worked out just fine for us). Last year when we qualified for champs we had fedex come and pick it up from our school once school was out. I'm not sure about the fedex donation question. Regarding batteries, you bring those on your own with the rest of your tools (I assume this, my team is located in St. Louis so we don't fly) I'm not sure about batteries on a flight (I know that they don't allow it internationally).
Ship the batteries in your crate, along with the robot. The verbiage that has to be on the crate to allow this to happen is in the shipping crate construction document. SLA batteries cannot be transported via air (domestic or international).
