Kit tote sale?

[jds2001]

I realized that I could use the totes for storage as well, and my team didn't want to buy any even though I recommended it (they had old KOP totes, which they didn't believe me when I said everything from 2013 prior was a different model). So I bought some myself from AndyMark (3 of my 6 are currently in my team's shop.....told them so! ). FedEx ground from AndyMark to NYC added a bit to the cost, but not enough to make it unaffordable.

I also went overboard and bought recycling containers from Amazon (yay Prime shipping!). Those we never used, and now I have 2 recycling containers in my one bedroom apartment in NYC. Need to find a way to make them decorative pieces

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone know of any cheaper options for the totes? The shipping on AM is a bit pricey.

I know we went to the local wal-mart and asked if they had any just lying around. We put their logo on the back of our t-shirt, and they gave us a steady supply of totes

The school provided us with recycling containers.

I'll be sure to contact our nearest Walmart(s) and try and set up a similar deal, thanks!

Are they the EXACT same totes or just similar? I'd be interested to try this with our local Walmart but if they aren't competition spec, our robot can't use them (we even had difficulty using old FRC totes because the pegs on the sides were in different positions).

[MichaelMcQuinn]

Yes, they were per spec. I was told when I went there last that those were totes that were used for clothes, so that might me a good department to hit first.

This is from the manual: TOTES are the same model (Orbis FP243) and colors as those that TEAMS received as part of their 2015 Kickoff Kits.

You can order them from here: http://www.orbiscorporation.com/Prod...e#.VWKX909VhHw

Fun Fact: You can fit 3520 totes in a 53 foot semi trailer.

Nested or un-nested?

Definitely nested, though that number sounds like it is packed to the very top of the trailer w/o room for pallets or to be able to lift the pallets. FIRST shipped them to the PNW district 112 on a standard 40 x 48 pallet.
