Yes, but do remember that it will take up space.

For the last couple of years we've designed out crate to open up and be a workbench, storage area, and display within our pits. Just remember that pits can be as small as 8'x8' and as large as 10'x10'. So design accordingly.

our crate opens up into a shop, with pegboard on 2 walls, and whiteboard on the other two.

when i was on another team, we did the same, and it proved extremely useful.

if you search around, there are several teams with instructions online.

Our crate becomes pit walls and robot cart.

The other benefit of using your crate in your pit is you don't have to wait for it to be delivered back to your pit for pack up.

Just remember to design something that fully loaded doesnt way over the limit. it would be quite a pain to have to reload
