Re: Shipping Important Question***

330's method: Robot on left side of the crate, tool bins on the right. A mesh screen separates them. The robot is secured by a pair of blocks that can be screwed down to the bottom of the crate. One is at the back, while the other is at the front. Both have a layer of tread on the side towards the robot.

Things to watch out for: Crates have been smashed in transit before, also run through by a forklift. REINFORCE your crate! It should be able to take at least 400 lbs on top, preferably more.
