Re: crate design and construction

I seen the rules, in last years PDF. But that wasn't what I was asking. What size crate did you guys build? I assume not everyone builds the MAXIMUM size of 4ft x 4ft do they? I heard one team built a crate 32" x 36" x 60". That's under the maximum size, but is that REALLY big enough for a robot, some tools, a dolly cart? I was simply asking a question about what other teams have built.

Hope that helps.
