I like the idea and would like to design something that could also be pulled out in a flash.
Each box has weighed about 15 lb.s during the three competition season 116 used them. Each box has contained the appropriate electrical components to control that year's robot, so they varied in weight somewhat from year-to-year depending on the amount of victors/spikes/etc required.
The same can be said for the size. The box pictured in this thread was the largest of the three, and I'd link pictures of the 2007 version, but the team 116 website seems to be down. They're typically around 18" long, and <12" wide and <12" tall.
Inside the boxes are the RC, Victors, Spike relays, break panels, main breaker, gyro, accelerometer, and power distribution blocks. There's also a fan to cool the entire system.
