Hey guys, we're trying to prepare all our stuff and possibly buy stuff we need to maintain efficiency at the competition. What have you guys done in the past to organize ur tools and stuff? (the cheaper the better)....

Any suggestions ? tips ?

What we've always done have been keeping a multi-chambered kit for standard fasteners and use only those in the design. As for the tools - bring a large toolbox with alittle of everything from basic drivers , taps,allen wrenches(english and Metric sets) lubricants, cordless drills,Files, vice,etc. but as for drill bits and taps stick to the standards - for example 1/4-20, metric(4-40,8-32,10-32), screws (sizes from 1/2"-2&quot, and nuts, lockwashers, and flat washers; also bring taps & drill bits( clearance & Tap) for all those sizes.

Spare parts for all damage prone parts are all stored in totes per subsystem (ie. drives, elevation, acquisition)


Hope this gives you an idea.
