Re: Dimensions of robot box
What year did FedEx change the maximum dimensions of the robot shipping box?
Many teams do re-use their shipping box and/or use the off-season to design/build a robot shipping crate that can serve multiple purposes.....so, let's hope/pray that they don't change the box shipping rules for 2007 (phew.....)
Think "outside-the-box" about how to optimize your robot shipping crate as a "system". can the doors be re-used as pit tables? can the robot cart be stashed inside the shipping crate (pending weight limits, etc)... There's lots of ways to think about the crate being more than just a crate. Heck, one team turned their crate into a coat closet! and kept it as part of their pit design.....
