2876 is pretty proud of its pit (

The five most important things in the pit are
1. Empty space for the robot and pit crew members
2. Table space for tools, programming etc. (the shop in the box we have has table space and a vice on it)- we also use large boxes for bringing in batteries and materials so that we can use that as table space.
3. Designated areas and enough (but not too much) mechanical, electrical, and programming supplies.
4. Designated areas for safety and strategy equipment that the entire team is aware of and has access to.
5. Banners and displays to make the team visible and exciting (and buttons/giveaways in the front corner so they don't interfere with robot transport and maintenance)
