Competition Pack List

[CeeCee McShane]

Hi all, I am looking NOT to reinvent the wheel - LOL
Does anyone have a "pack list" for competitions that they would be willing to share? I figure it will be easier to tweak a list than start from scratch.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone!

Robot and bumpers...

[Ben Martin]

-battery chargers
-tether
-safety glasses
-Bag and Tag form
-Bill of Materials

It isn't critical, but I like to bring a printer too, since there always seems to be someone on our team or another team who needs one (and to copy the match list a bunch of times)

PitListBAE2013.pdf

Above is the pit list for AIR Strike for the BAE GSR this week. We are bringing two rolling wire carts with colored bins as well as a tool box. As you can see, each tool and spare part has a location.

This list is printed double sided, laminated, and is left in multiple locations in the pit.

We had trouble in the past with bringing too much equipment we didn't need while leaving important items home.

Hopefully we can get a picture of the pit posted after the event.

Extra B&T bag and zip ties.

[Taylor]

In the 2012 Administrative Manual, section 4 had a sample pack list on pages 20/21.

[F22Rapture]

Extra PWM and/or CAN cable.

Spare motor controllers

Spare wheels & treading (unless you're using aluminum wheels, in which case you could probably get away with just treads).

Figure out which parts of your robot are most likely to break, and take an extra one of those if you have the leftover weight to do so.

It doesn't matter what else you bring with you, if you do not have this one form you cannot even enter the building!

You can enter the building, you just can't unbag the robot.

Thanks to all! Enjoyed the humor, too!

Here's hoping Airstrike is on our alliance every time!!!

(BTW, we DID forget the drive station last year, had to drive 4 hours round trip in a snow storm.)
