How are we going to optimize field reset?

There are 128 totes at 8 pounds each and 10 recycling containers at 9 pounds each to stage between each match. That's 1000 pounds of stuff to move. A thousand pounds which needs to be done without interrupting teams leaving the field and should be mostly done before the next teams enter.

I've not seen what the expected cycle time is, but I'd guess 6 minutes which means all of this has to be accomplished in 210 seconds.

First blush ideas that are obvious would seem to be some sort of trolley that would let one person move multiple totes quickly and a quiver for managing the fun-noodles.

I thought I'd throw this out to the CD community to see what kind of ideas for sturdy, light, inexpensive and potentially collapsible/shippable field reset tools there are.

You'd be shocked at the skill and efficiency of a FIRST volunteer.
They are some of the best and the brightest out there and they will come through.
Trust me on that.
