Re: Size of KOP Crates

The first year we did FRC I borrowed the cargo van from the IT dept. That was major overkill. Since then we have removed the backseat of the Wrangler and used that for transportation. Sadly, my Wife has already said I can't use the new Mazda 3 this year. She said something about robots and new paint not mixing. *sigh*

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.

One of our mentors bought a new Ford truck a couple weeks ago. Getting ready for build season, first thing we had to do was to move some robots and parts from the school storage room to the on-post facilities where we build. Of course one of the robots ended up in his new truck, and the paint in the bed got scratched. At least it was by a good cause, not just hauling a load of garbage to the dump.

Re: Size of KOP Crates

I've put three KOP totes and a slightly smaller tool tote in the back of my VW Rabbit in the offseason. I'm sure I could fit two just in the trunk area if I arranged it right.

Re: Size of KOP Crates

One bad winter build season a few years back, we had to take the robot to my employer's, as the school facilities were shut down in a snow/ice storm. I had a 6 foot tall, bright blue crate in the back of my little Toyota short-bed pickup for about a week. It looked like an outhouse
