The first one is regarding the position of the battery while we are charging or storing it. Is it allowed to place it horizontally?
The second is regarding to the crate. We wood like to change it to a multifunctional crate, which will combine the crate for shipping the robot and also a tool shed. We need to know, it is even allowed? And also, what are its measurements?
The final, are we allowed to use more then one camera?
Thank you in advance,

Team Artemis #3083, Israel.
I'll take a shot at answering these:
1> The rules over the last few years have been silent on this, therefore have been able to orientate your battery as needed. This may or may not be true after kickoff when we get new rules.
2> Many teams have used their crate as part of their pit setup. Search crate here on CD to find some of the designs. That said, Bills blog has indicated that there may/will be changes to the shipping/crate rules ... proceed here at your own risk.
3> There have not been any rules in the past about multiple cameras, although that is subject to change at kickoff, but the camera driver used last year looked at a specifia address, making it difficult to use 2 cameras.
