FRC 4414, High Tide, Pit Writeup

 Check out this Pit Writeup on Chief Delphi: https://www.chiefdelphi.com/t/team-4414-hightide-pit-writeup/411862.  This provides a great example of how to design and improve a pit. I've been interested in road cases for use with pits since I volunteered at my first event and saw that this is how FIRST transports the field from venue to venue. The High Tide team has worked with a road case company and developed a great pit. The pit is your home when you're at an event. There are enough other things going on during an event, so you want your pit to be familiar. I recommend setting up the pit every meeting at your home workspace. You may have more equipment or additional work tables at your home base, but you should keep your tools and parts in your pit during regular meetings. This way everyone knows were to find things when you load in your robot and are setup for an event.
