Re: Before Your Robot Goes Into Your Crate
Consider packing your bot with the wheels not compressed to the floor. Support at the frame and secure down to the studs in the crate floor from there. This should prevent damage to wheels/rollers from being compressed or getting flat spots in a crate for the traveling part of the season. (1-1/2 months for some teams).
Keep in mind the max weight on the crate...overages are not cheap ($200+ for us last year).
Battery storage...isolate those posts, terminals, and any means of it making contact with itself or other items...we build a separate plywood box that goes in with the batteries held securely within it.
