Re: crate design and construction

Team 237 is in the process of designing and constructing a new robot crate, cart, and charging station.

It's the off season project.

While some of us wanted a crate made from 80/20 and lexan like THIS one, we are going to be making it out of wood again and it will be similar to THIS one.

There are many ways to build a crate, and the eventual debate of weight vs. durability will always come into question.

Build what you can with what you have available, and hope that your shipping bill is not that high.

Or.. You can always do like THIS team and make your crate super light.

Btw, more pics can be found here: http://www.team237.com/gallery/Carts-Crates on our team's site,
or here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&galleryid=139&perrow=5&trows=5&qui et=Verbose&direction=DESC&sort=date on CD's gallery.

Note: The first 3 on CD's gallery are one's that I took pics of and uploaded, thus they are duplicates of pics on our site.

Good luck in the design and build of your new crate!
