Okay....back to the crate
Our crate builders made a frame of 2 x 4's first, then screwed the plywood onto them. They are using different latches and hasps so that we can use it as a display if we choose to. You could also use aluminum angle iron....(the kind with holes drilled in) to support the plywood, but 2 x 4's will give better support. Remember that you must place 4 x 4's under the crate, at least 28 inches apart for the forklift to be able to move it around. Those pieces are heavy too.
You need to keep a check on the weight of the crate, because the drayage company will REALLY STICK IT TO YOU if you are overweight. See the information in the shipping and administration section of the manual. You should make sure that your crate is under 200 lbs. Remember that your robot will be 130 or less, and you must also ship your controls and battery in the crate as well. even your packing material will have weight.
Don't go over 400 lbs total.
