Discover how to effectively organize a complete VEX robotics kit using the Fat Max organizing system. This comprehensive guide illustrates the storage strategy with three trays designed to categorize components by size and function. The top tray is perfect for tools, longer axles, and plastic pieces, while deeper storage accommodates larger components like wheels and batteries. Maintain order with labeled sections to prevent smaller parts from mixing, ensuring easy access and efficient transport of your VEX kit for robotics projects.

Place the larger parts that are least likely to slip through near the top of the case. Put copious small parts near the bottom of the case
When the case is lifted by the handle, all of the parts slide towards the new “bottoms” of their containers. Smaller parts can slip through to neighboring sections.
