Re: Pit Designs

@ToddF

I'm totally flattered that you liked our pit! We continually strive to make the pit bright, attractive, and clean because that makes one less thing to stress about during competition.

From the pictures you posted, it looks like your pit design is great! You have things neat, organized, and well labeled.

I think the biggest concern for most pit design is structure and lighting. Having things on the floor creates serious tripping hazards and takes up valuable space. I'm becoming more and more impressed with pit designs at regionals. We sure have come a long way!

Also be sure to have the proper safety objects, such as a fire extinguisher, eye wash station, etc.

Of course teams need to have all the proper safety equipment and procedures during the build season and competition season!

A huge safety concern that I see specifically relating to pit design is the lack of space, cleanliness, and awareness of tripping hazards caused by loose wires, trash, and forgotten tools.

Re: Pit Designs

The MOE Pit was created in 2001 over Winter Break and has served us well ever since. The link goes to our webpage about the pit. It includes Inventor files and assembly instructions.

While most of the pit is designed to be functional to work on our robot and others, we also have a tower with a 2001 KOP rotating green light for decoration.
