Re: Pit
Well First off congratulations for being trusted with this responsibility your first year!
So you know the size of the pit, you can plan acordingly. What I normally do is sketch out what the floor plan will be, including the table, our tool chest, and shelves and other stuff. I'd HIGHLY recomend having portable shelving units, for they give plenty of storage space in a small footprint. I'd also recomend having part of your table dedicate for your O/I and any laptops, so debugging and testing is easy. Wherever you put your robot, make sure you have ample room on all sides to work on it. I'd suggest having the robot positioned so its easy to wheel it in and out going to and from matches.
Also, Organizing a Pit is not limited to space. It can also apply to people. There is nothing worse than having 90 people from your team just hanging out, and there being no room for the people working on the bot. I recomend having certain people assigned to the "Pit crew," and having everyone else stay out of the pits if not needed. The stands are where congregating should happen.
Good luck!
