Re: Storage Space & Previous Robots
[quote=Donut]
One thing I'm worried about out here that most teams probably don't have to deal with for outside storage is the heat. Outside storage conatiners would get HOT in the summer here (as I'm sure you know we get air temperatures above 110 regularly), plus I don't think our school could find room for it on campus. Is cooled storage easy to find, or is heat something I probably don't need to worry about?

See out here in NYC we have many different Storage Buildings that are in house and climate controlled the only problem is that I never actually been in one before so I don't know the height depth and width of a storage closet. The good thing about them is they are dirt cheap close 10 - 30 bucks monthly (well at least out over here they're dirt cheap). If you have like a storage Deluxe Building or another company out there you should be able to go look at the area before purchasing it and see if its big enough to house a couply of robots w/ their control decks or a small container with their controllers. The other Idea is take the robot home with you and leave it in your shed like I should if my old team thinks about dismantling the robots to save space in the very distant future =). Then again the robot during my time is about 1 1/2 - 2 ft off the ground and about the max length & width you can make a robot not to mention they'd be only able to gut the inside since the frame is welded top to bottom - front to back.
