Re: Organizing multiple kits?

We have about 10 or 12 kits I believe with lots and lots of parts (I think we got extra lego sets too). Anyway, we keep everything in big Sterrilite bins and have lots of trays and plastic organizer boxes inside. We tried to keep identical kits, but that didn't last for long. Currently we have everything organized by like parts. (one bin full of RCXs, another full of batteries and chargers, all the motors together, all the gears together, all the beams together, etc) Everything is super organized like by the size of the gear, or length of the beam. When we build, we setup a couple tables with all the parts, and then everyone can easily find what they need. We let them take as many of anything they need as long as they are not hogging something another team needs. At the end of the build and competition, we tear them down and put all the indivicual parts away into their containers/trays as best as we can with the time we have.

It should be noted that we don't do lego league, we use legos for preseason training and fun.
