Re: Coverings/Banners/Shelves [Team Pit Layouts]

The TechnoKats pit frame has proven useful for more than just competitions.

For the American Cancer Society Relay for Life this summer, it was fitted with homebuilt rear-projection screens on all four sides and converted into a gigantic display kiosk. It stood by the side of the Kokomo High School running track, near the start/finish line. During the luminaria ceremony at dusk, as the names of victims and survivors of cancer were read, the names were also scrolled on the screens. Afterwards, it showed a presentation of photos from previous years' Relay for Life events. For much of the rest of the night a countdown clock was displayed, giving the time left until the Relay was over.

Students have occasionally suggested having a video game party at the shop, projecting the screens on what's come to be called the "game cube" display.
