I'm assuming the top is for chargers(6) and the bottom is for batteries(9). Not sure were the Dr. pepper goes though.

Obviously the freshman motor (not pictured) holds the Dr. Pepper.

Looks like 8020 (http://www.8020.net/) to me.

I was told that 935(my old team) was going to make a battery cart. Looks pretty good.

Using my knowledge of the materials that 935 usually uses I would guess that the cart is made out of 8020 and CNC aluminum plates.

If I may, I would suggest adding handles. Also adding a built in power strip to plug the chargers into would make it easier to organize all of the cords and then not have to worry about them any more. Maybe a place to wrap a extension cord from the power strip to the wall would also be good.

I am also wondering where the Dr. pepper goes?

Hey there J Beth,

We're already ahead of ya!! Here's the link to the finished battery cart:

Includes handles, built-in power strip, and the cord can wrap around two pieces of extrusion. And the captain deserves the Dr. Pepper :p
