Re: Pit design help
Last year our team we just had a banner created with our team info and had our sponsors on it and used PVC and buckets of sand to stand upright.
Also last year we made a new crate, (our first year crate bended in the middle and was built in the last week of build season, actually less than week, I HIGHLY suggest not doing that). We started workin on our crate early on and put lots of thought into it. I will post pictures later as I am on a schools computer that has none of the files that I need.
But with our crate it was the normal size that teams have. On the front we have two hinged doors splitting down the middle of the crate. Those opened up so we could place things into it and out of it. But we designed it come competition time that our crate would split in half, so we had a top half and a bottem half. Then the top half would split open running the long way. So then we would of the competition crew take our bottom half away and we kept the top half and placed it on one side of our pit. Also with that we made it so that we could place some dowls in and had stuck some extra pieces in so that we could have shelves in it. So we had a top to place things with then shelving underneath and that worked out well for us. I will try and remember and find some pictures and post them later.
