For one of the off season things TRx 145 did was a 4th of July thing and I got stuck with picking up 2 small robots and 2 IOs with my mom's small Pontiac G6. A fellow team member went with me and questioned if we could make them fit. After a couple tries we got them in there. It was tight, but worked.

I wouldn't call a G6 small--just try the G5 or Vibe! (Ah, the joys of working at a Pontiac dealer...)
At the same time, I've wondered just how small a vehicle one could fit an FRC robot into. My first-gen Honda CR-V fits one 60"-tall robot on its side without bumpers, and it's no Hummer; can anyone vouch for fitting one into something smaller?

I might have to break out the tape measure at lunch tomorrow, as this thread makes me wonder...

I had our 2004 robot in my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Of course, the top was down.

With a little love I was able to fit our Rack and Roll bot and our Aim High bot in my mom's '05 Honda Odyssey. But we had to put down the rear seats and take out the captains chairs and it still just barely fit.

we managed to fit 4 sheets of 4'x5' (aprx) aluminum plate in the back of my friends bug, which also drove the robot down to seattle and back 4 times. That car has soo much space in it.

It's possible to fit one robot and OI board (and 2 people) in a Ford Escort or Focus wagon, as long as you fold the rear seats down.
