Re: pit design
Using your crate as a workbench has been done by other teams in the past. You are given a lightweight folding table in the pit as well (usually). Packing a vise that you can clamp to the crate, and using the interior to store tools and get personal items out of the way is helpful. Some quick assembly storage shelves will also help to inexpensively organize a lot of items and get them out of your way. When at your Regional, pay attention to what other teams have done and prepare better (for next year), based on what you feel your team will need to do. We actually had a crate for tool shippng one year that mated up with our robot crate that we placed a toolbox between them to form a long workbench in the rear.
