In addition to the things already discussed (shelves, something on which to put the robot when working, tools, power strip) a couple small items can be very helpful:
- A dry erase board & pens for posting match times or team notices
- A tablecloth/skirt that hides supplies or clutter
- A sign, rope, or barrier of some sort for when the pit is closed (i.e pit crew is on the field, at a meal, etc.). A sign can also let others (like judges) know when the pit will be manned again.
- A file or notebooks with scouting & safety materials, extra paper, pens
