Two Story Pit Area?
Suppose we designed a two story pit area with either a ladder or staircase to get people to the second floor and a small elevator to get supplies and robots to the second floor. Suppose it fit totally int he 10x10 footprint and broke down enough such that it would be not too difficult to bring into the arena. Suppose we did all the engineering analysis to show that it is completely safe and in no danger of collapsing. Do you think FIRST would allow it?
It would ust be so insanely awesome. Of course, with probably 50+ vertical feet to work with, why stop at just one story right?
First floor: lobby
second floor: public relations
3rd floor: repairs shop
4th floor: programming and testing
5th floor: strategy
and so on...
You've got to admit a multi story pit area would be about the coolest thing ever in FIRST.
