Re: Parts Mangment

I've found that your storage is going to depend on your build space. My team has been through a few different build spaces, and each one had different storage requirements. There was a period where we lived out of a closet, so everything had to be on wheels so we could move it in and out easily. Another period where we had a large space all to our selves, and got some surplus home depot style shelving that worked great with standard FRC totes. Currently, we utilize a lot of under-bench areas for storage with totes, combined with smaller parts storage bins on a rolling rack and a corner for large stock (sheet metal, extrusion, etc) with a custom made rolling storage container to help keep it organized. We're also increasingly looking at rolling chests for storage so we can bring all of it with us to competition.
