We used to use recycle rush bins and some very messy kits and ziploc bags. That worked decently, but as the season went on, everything just became way too cluttered for us to be productive. I can't even count the number of times someone vaguely remembered a part and the pit crew spent close to twenty minutes tearing up our totes to find it.

This offseason we put some real work into sorting all of our old gears, sprockets, motors, wheels, screws, and rivets into organized, CLEAR, clean kits and bins. We also obtained a rolling shelf that we plan to keep all of our COTS parts for the season on (complete with a part sign in/out sheet). We have another shelf that I am thinking of using to organize all of our fabricated parts in a similar way.
