Advice for robot transportation to championships

[dardeshna]

Team 8 will be attending championships for the first time in several years, so we are starting from square one as far as robot transportation and shipping to championships.

Just looking for some advice on how to ship the robot... Do most teams bring two crates? Wooden vs metal crate? How exactly does the FedEx donation apply to championships? How does the shipping process work in general? How do you get batteries to the competition? Do they supply batteries?

Sorry for exhaustive number of questions, and I know there are already some threads about this out there, but they are mostly older threads. Any insight and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Devin (FRC 8 Paly Robotics)
