Any suggestions? Good places to buy such boxes?
Karen,

I picked up a large plastic tool box at Big Lots for $5. Everything fit nicely inside, with the exception of the controller. Then I saw the tool box used by Wendy Wooten of High Tech High (FRC team 22). She found one at Walmart for $8 - $9, the controller and the robot both fit inside, and the small parts containers on top are removeable, so the box does not tip over when you open it during use! I recommend Walmart.
