Re: Pit Management

The Technokats have a pit that I guess qualifies as a porta-pit. It folds down into a rolling cart pretty much. While up, it is around 10-12 feet tall and typical size of FIRST legal pits. We take a work bench, tool carts, robot cart and use the table already there as our work areas. We use a LCD board to display messages to people around our pit.(everything from match times to "Free Segway air fill station" to "EL JORGE WANTS YOU!") We also have a kiosk that we sometimes use outside our pit to display our past movies or demo movies about the current robot. (It also has a pretty good sound system on it.) We found having something like that in the pit to be very annoying. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
