Designed specifically to fit and protect VEX and FTC Robots while being accepted as standard size checked luggage, you can take your robot on flights with confidence.

Cases are shipped flat with simple assembly required using a drill and hand riveter.

Required Tools
The following basic tools are used to assemble the robot case:

• Drill with 3/16” bit
• Riveter, such as an inexpensive manual tool
• Strap, such as a ratcheting strap
• Spray adhesive (or similar) for installing foam lining
• When adding casters, a Philips screwdriver and 3/8” (or adjustable) wrench are also used.

Fixed vs. Quick Change Removable Casters
Fixed casters are perfect for most cases. However, if you are planning to check your case on a flight you may want to consider removable casters for two reasons. First, if your airline is very strict with measurements, the case with casters attached is slightly larger than the standard 62” limit (although we’ve never run into any issues). Second, if your case has casters on it, baggage handlers will tip it on its side so that is doesn’t roll around on conveyors and in the aircraft, so be sure to keep this in mind when packing your robot.
