Re: VEX/FTC/FLL parts box - new recommendations

I used the yellow tackle boxes in high school to much success. They were pretty much perfect back then.
However I donated those boxes to 1714 and when I rebuilt my collection they were apparently discontinued, so I got a much beefier box from Home Depot. It's 24 inches long by ~12 inches wide, but it has a huge toolbox up top and tons of room for big stuff underneath. I brought it to IRI (so Foster has probably seen it).
Here, just found it on Home Depot: 22 in. Cantilever Toolbox. It has a four bar linkage on it for extra cool points too. $30 is a lot but it's enough for a team's worth of stuff, I bet.
