You know I am seeing all these VERY nicely painted crates but what are you guys gonna do when they get knocked around in shipping and the ur amazing paint job is all messed up. that is gonna s*ck. Also when u get to the competition are u just gon unload it and then put it in storage. My team thought about that and then they assigned me (my luck) to design a crate that will be able to be kept in the pit and be integrated in. And after much deliberation we have a unfolding work bench and storage crate. If you are interested in it we ill be at UCF and Chicago as well as Nationals. Once i get some half legable blueprints i will post them here so all u teams can make ur own for next year. Only thing is, dont make it out of 3/4" ply wood. With my design it weights 416lbs empty and as per the FIRST shipping rules the crate must weight less than 400lbs for them to ship it. So we are workin out some other idea of gettin it to competition. So i was wonderin , have ne other teams come up with something of this sort?
