Since FIRST's shipping method to and from regionals is via semis that have a very specific packing order (fully Tetris optimized), I'm not sure how practical this would be. You could send HQ an email suggesting it as a recycling initiative, though.

That's why it's so hard to figure out who made the bins...there are more than one.

I loaded up 3 FIRST bins and the robot and toolbox in my truck today, there are two types of bins, one is by Orbis, the other by Monoflo.

They are known as "Attached Lid Containers". The page from Enco (lower right). http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INPDFF?P...PARTPG=INLMK32 Multiple sizes (and prices). Available from many industrial suppliers and several brands.

We bought several a couple of years ago to store the bigger stuff (wheels, motors, etc.) Each subteam has claimed a couple for storage.
