Team 1540 is once again hosting our FIRSTfare event. It’s a neat series of workshops one saturday in october for FIRST teams from the Pacific NW to learn new things from one another. Different team members from different teams lead workshops on subjects ranging from marketing strategies to drive base designs.
This year, I’m leading a workshop on Pit Design and functionality, with a focus on both safety of the pit, as well as aesthetics. If any of you have a picture of your pit, and think that it’s just the most amazing pit in the world, I’d love to be able to work it into my presentation. I would of course, give credit on the pit to whomever sends their pictures in. CADs are acceptable too.
Thanks!

Under our resources page at http://www.moe365.org/resources.php we have pictures of our pit and copies of a presentation given in 2007 at the Conference in Atlanta entitled “Design and Optimization of a Pit Cart Using 3D CAD Software”. There is also a link for Autodesk Inventor® Files of the MOE Pit. Feel free to download any.

Core 2062’s pit is probably the neatest, most organized pit I’ve ever seen. My team uses Core’s put as a reference when mapping out our own.
