I'll have to think of something this summer.

What do you pack your crate with to protect the bot or do you just stick the robot in the crate and hope it works when you get there? Do y'all use some type of restraining system or packing protective system? I'm a little antsy because of the electronics/CRio, etc. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
