 If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. - Cory [more] |

Re: Rookie Toolbox
The most important things for a team to take to any competition are a sense of humor, a big bottle of Advil, and a camera!
You probably meant tools, right? We took everything. I think we had six toolboxes. We tried to bring everything we used in building the robot in the first place except stationary power tools. Don't forget your VOM, wire ties, fasteners, extra wire, and cordless driver/drills (power is a problem in our pits). At our regional, there were quite a few small drill presses scattered around, and there was a trailer with a pretty complete machine shop (better than our regular workshop). We developed a crack in a weld and the trailer folk fixed it better than new in 10 minutes. Honestly, if you forget a tool you will be able to borrow one just like you didn't bring within 20 feet of your pit area. FIRST teams are pals.

Re: Rookie Toolbox
At the end of Section 7, FIRST has a good list of things to bring to a competition.
My top (non-tool) things to bring into the pits are safety glasses, band-aids, and the FIRST consent/release forms.
