I'm still worried about my trajectory machine though. Are there any quick-fix ways to keep my device safe without spending hours making a box? I don't want anythign to break or come loose (worst nightmare ever)

Re: Transporting Engineering Events
We were brave enough to not even bother padding our Trajectory. Though, Mission we built a hard core crate for .
Greyhound seems to have worked. Shipped Monday and confirmed it was in Urbana Tuesday night. We'll find out tomorrow if they survived!

Re: Transporting Engineering Events
That's what our coach told us. He said it applies especially to the precision events, because damage is very likely to occur. You know, the bump the wrong way that causes a small, almost imperceptible discrepancy in the alignment of the mission possible that causes losing of the event.

Re: Transporting Engineering Events
UPS busted our Trajectory base board in half. 1 inch oak. We were able to fix it before comp. We were more lucky than that team from FL who had their device lost.
