Be sure to get the DEEP one. It will hold a few (3?) 84-tooth gears in its smaller compartments. The very similar, but more shallow, model is frustrating.
When I go shopping I carry a transmitter, an 84-tooth gear, a microcontroller, a battery or two, and a couple of long hunks of Vex metal. I check to see if they fit before buying anything.
I have a combination of deep Stanleys, cheap ordinary toolboxes (one big open compartment), and some small parts organizers from Sears (I forget who made them). However, I am only organizing 2-3 robots worth of shared stuff. I suspect that you don't want to copy my approach.
