i did a quicksearch, and didn't come up with anything... surprised this thread didn't come up before... if it did then you can smack me

What do you use your bins for?

Our team actually didn't start using them for storage until we got to the regional. We kept them stacked with their lids off in the corner of the robotics room, taking them out and assembling them into tables/chairs every time parents brought food. needless to say our bins got rather moldy from residual sauce/food that got into them and cracked from people sitting on them. we cleaned them out before the regional, of course

oh, and we tested our bot with them, but thats secondary

Student Armin, who filled the auto shop by emptying a fire extinguisher one year, sat in the bin to slide down our full-sized in house ramp.

Well, besides the obvious storage and chair function, our bins dont really do all that much.

We actually had one idea though...after Sacramento regional my teammates took tons of the broken bins with the idea of making a FIRST shrine to place either in our school or in our pit at SVR, but the idea kinda got killed when our moderator ordered us to throw away all the bins that had gaping holes (almost all of them).

Oh, and i discovered today that a stack of 3 makes a good podium.

Oh, and at SVR we used a stack of 2 as a kiosk-type thing where we kept a pile of handouts that noone took =(

At the SoCal regional, wearing bins became "high fashion".

Tubby-garb was in vogue for the head referee, some volunteers and even Dave Lavery.

See:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=19951

Rumor has it that there will be a "tubby fashion show" before the team social in Houston....

we try to stuff a person in one, but we use two and carry them into the middle of hallways, then just toss them.

Flip em over and they make great stackable chairs in the pits.... Great for working on laptops or just giving your legs a break!

The one i got from competition with the first logo on it is being signed by everyone on my team and says "2003 Midwest Regional Chairmans Award Winner" on it with sharpie...its going to become a decoration in my room!

Our mascot fits in a bin, so thats what we use one of the bins for
The rest are either for storing tools, software or used as pillows
