Bag & Tag and Favorite Pit Layout/Furniture/Tools

[vhcook]

We generally stick with the usual hand tools and drills, spare parts, rolling tool chest, and the typical sort of thing. My personal favorite item in our pit setup kit, while not strictly necessary, is a set of interlocking foam rubber floor mats. Having the mats down makes a huge difference in how sore our feet and knees get over the course of a long day standing on the concrete.

We made two diamond plate covered carts that fit along the backside of our pit. then we attached our banner above the carts with pvc. In the carts we store tools, pr things, and they also hide all the wires for laptops and battery chargers.

Then we also made a robot cart that has storage under it that we store the most used tools and extra parts.

We were lucky last year though since at both regionals we got corner booths so we could enter from almost any direction.
