Re: Robot FirstAid Kit??

I know each year, my team spends the time between shipping and competition to make extra shafts and such (I think this year we made about 2 extra shafts for every 1 on our bot totally around 20-30?). Besides that, we have organizers for our electronics (solder, connectors and such), spare parts, pneumatic fittings, metric bolts/nuts, standard bolts/nuts, along with just about every tool we used to build it (unfortunately, we can't bring our mill or lathe with us ). Basically I'd say bring anything that you think will happen during the competition. Dremels, Vice Grips, allen keys, wrenches, and everthing else you can bring for repairs is recommended.

And remember, if you don't have a tool at the competition, don't be afraid to ask another team! The past 2 years, my team has lent out so many tools to teams that did not have them, and it's nice to help another team get their robot back in shape to compete!
