I suppose it depends on how effectively your team utilizes the space. Between our robot and our storage we use approximately 29% of our floor space. This is with bumpers on our robot and 160 cubic feet of storage space. We have had thirteen people in the pit working on several occasions and at times had over sixteen before. Perhaps teams should invest in how they utilize the space provided instead of heaping 'material' in their pit?
