Re: Shipping Damage: Happened To You?

We lost our pallet that was attached to our crate this year. It looked as if it s completely sheered up from the bottom.

Re: Shipping Damage: Happened To You?

In I think 2000 or so a couple crates from local teams in the Bay Area actually literally fell off the back of the FedEx truck.

Every year I hear horror stories and see pictures of crates with forklift holes in the sides, or situations where a crate clearly ended up on it's side, top, etc. Luckily it has never happened to us.

Re: Shipping Damage: Happened To You?

I mean, forklift holes in the side due to careless driving, thats one thing (but teams should also know to build the sides thicker at the bottom, since we know this happens alot). But cases where there is SEVERE robot damage, and/or SEVERE crate damage, consistent with dropping from more than about a foot, or falling off the back of a truck is just wrong. There was a story a while back about a team who received their robot shrinkwrapped to a pallet. the other 5 sides of their crate were gone, completely. Never mind that the robot was destroyed.

Re: Shipping Damage: Happened To You?

No damage was done to the robot, but when we got to BMR this year, our crate had been damaged to the point that we can barley open and close it. Something ran into it and torn the bolts that hold the sides together through the wood. This is a first as this crate is quite a few years old (1999 I think) and it has held up to this point.
