1) Absolutely not!! I didn't even see my crate at regionals or the Championships until we were packing up the robot!

2) Like - I helped build it ! It is very strong ... and that's about it. Dislike - it has not personality about it ... this is what I mean: I see many teams that have painted their crate in a very creative way ... I just wish we had done that to ours ... is kind of bland!

3) Someting that is very durable, kind of like the one we have now ... we used wood that was pre-treated to resist rain and not rot away because of it or other things that can happen to wood when it is stored away in a place for a long time!

4) Absolutely not ... we barely had space for anything in our pit anyway ... no space ... no space !!!

5) It was built for this season ... and since its our first season well then its not very old at all, now is it?

6) I'd say we started building it about two (or maybe a little more) weeks before shipping date! Although, Mr. Vasden (one of our mentors & in charge of building the crate) started working on the plans before that -- i think!!

7) We broke it in pieces and started a fire!! Nah, like I said its our first year therefore -- 1st official team crate!!

8) Umm, that I know off ... the only thing we packed in it at any given time was the batteries ... although I may be wrong and we may have packed something else in there!!

9) Errr ... I don't think so ... i'm pretty sure we didn't but then again I might be wrong too!
