Yeah, we use a Stryker Stretcher as our robot cart and work bench in the pit. It is pretty funny when people see us and say "Nice stretcher" and don't even notice the robot. I don't blame them though, it is $15k robot cart that was donated when Stryker was our sponsor.

Do you transport your robot in an ambulance?

Super Pit

I like looking at that pit but I would not like to look at the lading/shipping/storage expenses that thing probably accrues when going to champs.

This is our pit from a 2015 competition. The frame is made from 80/20, we designed, sewed, and imprinted the valance ourselves. A student painted the backdrop. On the right we have our battery cart which has a slot for a computer and a monitor on the top that we use to show videos of the team. The work table has a small garbage can and totes with parts under it. The cart has adjustable height and is used both in the pit and to take the robot to the field. Back left corner has our double-stacked tool chest and in front of that is a plastic shelving unit that has parts, equipment, and safety supplies. The white structure in the front is 3 cubes stacked and bolted together. The back is open and is used to store game manual, safety manuals, giveaways, etc. It also has a bracket on the side to hold our flag.

Knowing that space is sometimes less than 10'x10', our frame can be reconfigured as a 9x9 or an 8x8 if necessary.
