Re: Shipping Tools

We pack as much as we can in the crate with the robot. We even made shelves in the crate to support the stuff so it doesn't rest on the robot. As far as I know we've never shipped our tools on the plane, although you can do it but like Wetzel said above check thier policies and the drayage companies policies before hand. Since you've already sent your robot crate you could either make a second for truck freight or find out the requierments for shipping by plane. You could even ship the tools by UPS, FEDEX, DHL, ect. depending on whether you have a crate or large box (I don't know what you're planning on taking), although you might want to get price quotes before doing that.
