I saw this in Philly this year, and it looks great in person. Though I have to ask, where exactly do you keep the tools? There wasn't a single toolbox or wrench to be found

[Morgan Gillespie]

Take a look into their ingenuously designed cart. By integrating a full toolbox into their cart, they have all their tools that they need at all times.

Apperantly this type of pit happens when the students actually finish something they started. Nice display as always from 103, very professional and well put together see you guys at the Florida regional again .

Our tools and spare parts are kept in the tool boxes in the cart and the some other tools and spare parts are kept in the two towers that sit towards the front of the pit.

hey, we charge our batteries in a different cart behind the standing booth. we try to hide as much stuff as possible, to give it a trade show look.

Where do you work on the robot? We were right next to you and I never saw you working on it. Did it just never breaK????

[Cyberphil]

Oh no. We use our cart to work on the robot when we do break it, but during the season, the robot really didn't break that much. The cart has 2 small toolboxes under it so if we don't have enough time to work on the robot, we can work on it right on the spot.

When we went to New Brunswick Eruption 3 weeks ago, we couldn't go a match without breaking the robot. Every time, something that we needed to either pick up the balls or launch them broke. We still made it to the semis, but that's only because our alliance partner was doing extremely well.

Holy Necropost Batman!

But in all seriousness remember that functionality is key when you make your pit, so be sure to have a nice organized spot for all of your tools to reside
