We use them to test MOE's stacker, and it makes a great chair in the pits.

well, we named one of our bins and used it as entertainment on long saturday practices... also, we DID NOT use our bins as parachutes... if you were at UCF and could read a T-shirt you would understand, if not you might have seen the idea somewhere b4, too bad we wont be at nat's to show you

we named one of our bins "THE ONE" cause we use it to hold extrusion/metal scraps, and it got REALLY heavy... we used it to test tork's carrying capacity.

We played with our bins. People would run at them as if they were a robot, *cough*mentors*cough* or have people get in them or some would play kick boxing with them. Some of the kids on our team can actually fit in them with the lid on, scarry aint it?
We also used ours for storage but if we werent using them they typically were up high so we didnt really use them for tables or chairs.

Some members of our team built an large arc out of about a dozen boxes. We were going to take team pictures but someone stupidly knocked it down.

We use ours for bot testing, projectiles, dinner tables and foot rest (during season) Now that season is over we are using them to store things. A few weeks ago we tore one to shreds with one of our bots that we have at the shop, there was nothing left. It was pretty cool! What my friends and I plan on doing is loading it with Acetylene and blowing in up! Lol! we are crazy!

We used some of the broken ones from regionals to sit on. Sitting on a broken bin is not always the best idea, btw

hey, we just used our bins for breaking them and having a good time. Right after we got our robot back, everyone took turns and broke some bins.

Man, that was so cool...

U guys try it sometimes
