Re: pic: The Robettes Battery charging station

I don't have any spec's here (and likely won't be in the build space to measure for another month or two), but some general estimations:

- Each side is approximately the same width as two batteries, making the total width about that of 5 batteries (when you include the wood and the overhang from the work surface)
- Its depth is probably about two battery widths - as you can see from the picture, it's about the same width as the table next to it.
- Its height is about a foot higher than the standard folding table next to it - about waist height to provide a good working surface while standing in the pit.

Overall, the footprint is a little bigger than half a standard folding table, while being a little higher for comfort while standing.

Keep in mind that we more or less eyeballed it while building. The work surface came first (an old butchers block), and the rest was designed as we went around that and the requirements for the batteries.
