Pit Size

[scaryone]

Too small, no matter how big they are.

No matter how big they are it is always not big enough for the team.

Pits are usually about 10x10 ft

You're given a table that's probably about 5 feet long at 2 1/2 feet wide at the regional, but you have the choice of taking it out.

Since you will be at district events you need to contact the people running the district to see what will be available at your events. Since they are held at various locations the size may vary from event to event. I'm certain that the will try to give 10x10 pits but based on space they may be smaller or sized slightly differently say 9x11.

By the book, 10' x 10'. In practice, you will find that it will be +/- up to a couple of feet in either dimension.

Ain't that the truth. If you can find a way to use the walls, you can maximize your work space so pegboards or cages work well for hanging shelves, safety glasses, posters, etc.

Corollary to Parkinson's law with regard to pit space - the team will expand to fill whatever space is allotted. (and the aisles will suffer)

I wish I could convince more of our team that they have seen enough of our own robot and they should be spending more time bugg... er observing how the other teams' pit crews are doing. They might even make some friends and learn some robotics.
