Does your crate have a function besides being a crate? Yes it does, actually. We can usually go right in and do work on the robot, since a now alumni from our team installed a lightbulb in it..haha..
What do you like or dislike about your crate? I love the design. I may post a picture later, but our crate was painted black, and on the two front doors of the crate, Mark (alumni) spraypainted flames on it. It kind of fades from yellow to red. It's really awesome!
What do you look for or want in a crate material? I don't understand this question..
Do you use the crate in the pits? occasionally yes.
How old is the crate you are currently using? We just built it this past season, but the old one we used for many years. It was time to make a new one!
When in the six weeks do you start thinking about the crate? It's premade, so we don't worry about it. But this past year we started before the season began.
What did you do with the old one? ripped it apart and saved the wood, just in case we need it later.
How much other stuff do you pack with the robot? We pack our controls in with it, I believe. But that's about it. We take our tools and all with us when we travel.
How overweight was the crate this year? No idea. Hehe.
