Re: pit design

I did a quick search and in the thousands of pictures we have I really couldn't find many of the pit; that is, a picture in which you could see the actual pit and not just lots of people in it. This one is the best. The main part of the pit, which was the subject of the earlier post I made with the CD drawings, is in the back. A smaller workbench is on the right that has just sliding bins on the bottom and some wire shelf on top. The robot is kept on the cart for repairs. There is a small wire shelf unit on the far right that is used to hold our yearbook and giveaways. The famous (now scaled down per FIRST rules) tower with the flashing light is obscured by the trackball, which is on a specially made PVC pipe holder made just for that game. There is also a small step stool and some bins (from the 2003 game) of parts, but that's about it. Perhaps someone from MOE who actually works in the pit (unlike me) can explain better.

Green bow-tie is optional for pit repairs.

We transport the pit in a parent's pickup truck; see the second picture.

If this looks complicated, realize that these weren't all designed and built at once. We've had ten years to build and modify these.
