I designed and built a mobile workshop that stores all of the commonly used tools, contained built-in battery charging and power outlets, and holds all of the other pieces for a functional robotics pit at competitions.
We worked out of a closet next to the cafeteria at the high school. The mobile workshop allowed the team to wheel the tools into the cafeteria for easier access. This helped improved the speed of set up, tear down, and general work throughout the meeting. It also allowed them to keep the tools more organized. The whole system also folded up into the size of a shipping crate for transportation to competitions. Keeping the same tools in the same organization reduced the amount of hunting around for the right tools while at competition and made fixes in the pit much faster. I also designed a built a promotional structure, a table, storage boxes and benches. All of these this as well as protective flooring, and promotional banners fit into the folded up version of the mobile workshop.
