Re: Organizing Tips

The separate tool box idea is the way to go. Then you don't have people on different subteams fighting over access. We also found several small boxes with hinged covers that fit nicely in the tool box drawers. One contains crimp terminals, one contains Anderson terminals and one is a flat box, about 12 x 18 that has little compartments inside and a clear, locking cover. We call it the 'goody box' and it has the very small parts like miniature screws, PWM pins, pots, D connectors, etc. If it turns over or drops, nothing gets tossed about or mixed. Other clear hinged boxes about 12 x 6, contain ty-wraps and heat shrink. For larger drawers, hinged index card boxes work well for larger items like PWM bulk cable, servos, battery connector bodies and terminals, electrical assemblies, etc. Sharpies are your friend.
