Re: Best Pit You've Seen

i forget the team number right now but @ palmetto their was a team w/ another level basically...it was interesting to watch them put it up then they had to lawn chairs up there... we were thinking we all should do that and put a jacuzzi up there to relax between matches

343, 342 always are neat too and love the great balloon up with 343 is always fun.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

I really like 103's pit, and 272 had an awesome theme. so does 87.
and I [heart] the tower in 365's pit, like everyone else.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

Teams 1024 (Kil-a-bytes), 111 (Wildstang), and 45 (Technokats) all have, not only great organizational skills, but also smashing color schemes that carry through to their robots and team shirts. I don't remember the number, but a team called Frost-Byte had a very cool (no pun intended) display around their pit made out of styrofoam coolers that had been bonded together in the shape of an arch.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

I agree, Team Fusion had one of the coolest pits I've ever seen in my 2 years... Though it seemed to take most of thursday to set up, it looked amazing when they were done.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

I agree--34(2/3) have great pits.

And Tiffany, if memory serves me right, that was 1320 with the second level.

(Then again, I also can't sleep on 1102, M'Aiken Magic. They've got the castle thing going pretty well.)

That was probably the worst part of our pit. It was supposed to be able to set up in 30 minutes or less, but none of the students have even touched it in six weeks. We should be able to set it up in Atlanta a lot faster.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

870 - Team R.I.C.E.

Basically from watching them pack up... They pretty much had everything they needed for their pit neatly put away in their crate, along with the robot... With the pit set up, they had a great display, and one of the neatest, most organized, most functional pits I saw at SBPLI.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

Considering we usually go to the same regionals, we always have the pleasure of being right near 103. Their pit is awesome. Very neat and organized. Not to mention that kick-$@#$@#$@# plasma screen. I don't see them working on their bot too much.. a testament to how reliable their robots are. They're always very friendly, too.

Team 103 gets my vote for the best pit. I'll be on the lookout for some more cool pits in Atlanta though.

edit: Ironically, this is my 103rd post.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

116 and I think 118 combined their pits at Nationals in 2000. Golf course complete with green carpeting and a rotating windmill, smoothie bar, microwave, refridgerator...

It was awesome.

More recently, 365 and 343 have impressed me with asking them for a certian size nut or bolt, and they go, ok, and open a few drawers and then hand you what you are looking for.

Re: Best Pit You've Seen

1024 has my vote.

All that 80/20 and blue and yellow signs around the top with the addition of the overhead projector this year. This to me is the cleanest smoothest pit in FIRST.

Others I've liked:
868 Tech Hounds (Simple yet effective enough to Keep everything out in the open)

342 Burning Magnetos (Awesome custom made everything)

111 Wild stang (Very cool banner in the front)

45 (When they used the display with the large prints of their stuff 2001 I think)
