Re: Building the FRC Crate
Batteries are a smidge under 14 lbs if I recall (and depending on the weight of your cable and connectors, could be 14).
It can be a hassle, but you are allowed to fly them; If I recall, it's 2 per person and you should double check the current TSA rules. However, at 14 lbs each, and many teams having 10 or so batteries, it can save A LOT of money. And if you're driving to an event, no reason at all to ship them; you even get the added benefit of being able to charge them very recently before the competition. Quote:

Re: Building the FRC Crate
If I still have both of mine this spring... We'll see if I can do two at once.
(And yes, I have taken a direct hit to the hard hat from falling PVC. The head wasn't touched.) |

Re: Building the FRC Crate
ok question: can the crate be made of metal?? like aluminum or something?? I swear I saw some teams at Nationals who had some, but I can't be quite sure. yes, I'm aware that fabbing a metal crate instead of wood will be much heavier; I'm trying to see ALL my options here before I present to the team and say "this is what we're building".
thanx : ) |
