The Pit Display: Marketing Your Team
It's not just a table. It's your storefront. How to design a pit that attracts judges and scouts.
The Pit Display: Marketing Your Team
Judges walk through the pits. If your pit is messy, dark, and sad, they keep walking. If your pit is bright, organized, and exciting, they stop.
Core Elements
- The “Hero” Poster: A huge banner with your team number and robot picture.
- The Monitor: Play a loop of your match highlights and outreach videos.
- The Handouts: Don’t just give buttons. Give “Technical One-Pagers” (a flyer explaining your robot).
The “Clean Mechanism”
brings a spare intake or spare shooter module. Put it on the table. Let judges hold it. “This is our differential swerve module. Twist it.” Tactile interaction is memorable.
Conclusion
Your pit is your embassy. Keep it clean. Keep it staffed. Keep it branded.
