Re: Shipping Tools

Shipping a second crate thru FIRST is expensive and I think you have the drayage charges also.

We ship many tools in our crate, and like someone above, we have made shelves and even front covers that we screw on to them to keep the stuff on the shelf during shipping. I have seen a few robots that got crushed by things falling on tem during shipping.

We also take some on the plane. Drills, hammers, wrenches and such we just put into our checked luggage. Our controls went to Phoenix last week in a large plastic tub.

The other option is to ship a box to your hotel. Make sure you talk to the hotel and that they agree. On the address label, put your name, "Hotel Guest, Checking In xxxxxx" and then the hotel name and address.

I have not done that with robot parts but have done that often for work items that I could not take with me on an airplane.

The other thing to remember, lots of team in Atlanta will have tools and most are willing to share. If we can help you out, don't hesitate to ask.
