Have you cleaned your team's storage closet lately?

oof cleaning out the robotics closet was a real pain for us. all the poof balls, aluminum bits, broken pieces of lexan, even spare change were found in the mess.
at the end the trash weighed in at about 50 pounds

You know, all these "useless" objects like old motors or victors or stock aluminum would probably come in real handy for a rookie team looking for a head start in the fall offseason....

Wow, yet another resurrection, anyway we found a book full of CAD drawings from 2001, the Volcanic Panic Fliers from FLL, and we also found A Brochure for PARC IV

1293 cleaned out its storage closet in the preseason. Many parts in the room weren't even the team's, just cast-offs from various things (various 486-era computer components, bolts as big as your arm, etc.). We cleared it out nicely.

We cleaned our shed out last week becuase they are bulldozing that area and are building a new science building. They are giving us a special room (SCORE).
In the shed we found a barbcue grill, charcoal, stage lights, drama props.
That is downstairs which is noting, Upstairs we had TONS of wood and PVC.
So now all of this stuff is in our shop. We can no longer see the floor. The floor has been elevated about 2-3 feet by plywood. I wil lpost a pic later. TO get to the lights you need to get a harness and scal these mountains (not really). But it is bad.

Sweet! I wish WCC would give us a special room, with lots of pre-carpeted space for driving practice.

The last couple of years the X-Cats did a cleanup and reorganization of the site. Found alot of old buttons, a 96 Beatty robotics trucker cap, a Robbie extreme bandanna, lots of old giveaways and noisemakers (I really wish we didn't find those clickers. They are super obnoxious) and even some old banners.

hmm... we were also recently evicted from our workshop so we had to get out. i finally found all our allen wrenches... we were missing over 6 full sets. also found were 3 rolls of duct tape, 2 sets of drill biits, and a marker board eraser

In September 166 had a super closet clean out.

It took 3 days to complete.

Friday night we tore everything out of the closet and brought it out into our work space. Saturday we started sorting through everything, throwing away things we don't need.

Sunday we put it all back. It's a lot cleaner and easier to find stuff.

What usually happens when we try "to clean and organize" our room(closet) is we take all the stuff out that can come out. We then look at all of it amazed that it somehow manages to fill the hallway outside the room , and then throw it all back in a little bit more organized than last time.

Then finally we do it again in about 2 weeks time.
Hopefully this year it stays more organized than previous years.

We are going to clean the shop over Christmas break, I'm terrified to see what stuff we will find.

[Koko Ed]

We have because we're moving after the season.
You can see all the stuff we found laying around right here.
