These designated spaces help organize team placement and help team members, judges, and visitors find
teams easily. Please keep your numbers visible and aligned. They are set up to be as equal as possible.
Each team's pit station will have a table and power outlet.
For safety and because of insurance regulations, teams cannot build any structure that supports people or
items for storage above the work area in their pit space. No structures should be higher than 10 feet above
the floor and must safely support any signs or displays mounted to the structure. FIRST will require the
removal of any pit structure that is deemed unsafe by event management personnel and local committee
members.

However, the aforementioned rule also states that the structure cannot hold people. So that removes most, if not all, possibilities of creating a second tier/story. But if the second level was to be for storage purposes, then as Cody C says, it would not be allowed to be higher than the work area/above people's heads.
