We used a
backyard canopy that was 10 x 10 without the tarp on the top. The Cross supports from opposite corners gave a place to hang a fluorescent light in the pit and places to hold a 3' wide by 6' tall banner at the front of the pit. The back support from corner to corner was used to hang team information posters and pit rules. We used a
wire rack for shelving to hold tool kits, etc. We used the provided table at the back of the pit for a work surface and under the table for storage of backpacks, computer for programming team and promotional items.
We used a
hydraulic cart from Harbor Freight for robot transportation as well as a work stand. It was nice to be able to put the robot up high to work on. We mounted a plywood top on the cart that was large enough for the robot to set on.
We had four
folding tripod seats for the pit crew to use for seats in the pit as well.
