Re: Two Story Pit Area?
The module design would allow rearrangment of the entire pit and also stacking for more storage. Assuming that the supports are at least a couple inches wide, however, boxes that are more than two feet wide in any direction wouldn't fit. Maybe there could be 4x2 modules, the size of two small ones stuck together. With horizontal supports for the top, it could still hold a lot of weight on top.
The module system would also be great if you're going to more than one competition with very different pit sizes. |

Re: Two Story Pit Area?
Out of sheer curiosity, by how much do the pit sizes at the regionals vary?
The standard I believe is 10'x10'. However, there are reports (a.k.a. complaints) that pit sizes reach as low as 8'x8'. Furthermore, there are even reports that pits aren't even perfectly square. Can someone confirm this? |

Re: Two Story Pit Area?
Dave, does this account for ALL lawsuits against FIRST Regionals? Or only the major ones? Given the trigger-happy lawyers here in America, coupled with the presumably deep pockets of FIRST, we can all expect some frivolous lawsuits. Which might be where the 1-2 lawsuits per regional figure comes from.

No source has been offered. Dave says the figure is wrong, and Dave is in a position to know. |

Re: Two Story Pit Area?
Oooh SketchUp! I didn't think anyone else actually used it!
Ronald Raygun, Does your team use SketchUp during the build season at all? |
