Re: Pit design help

function first, then looks.

a general U shape works well with tables or carts on the outer borders of the pit size box, and an open front to simply roll the robot in on a cart. The cart should be tall enough to work on the bot, yet short enough you can fit through a standard doorway (if you go to IRI or similar offseason events you may need this).

i don't have any pictures of our pit but we spent a summer perfecting it and in turn we have many people from other teams using the tools quite a bit. (bandsaw, drillpress, sander, arbor press...)
including RAWC right before a match we faced them at champs this year lol
