A garden cart would have been a dream cart for us last year, we had a piece of plywood and 2x4's with four caster wheels pulled by a piece of rope. All the casters spun so it was impossible to steer.
Good luck with your pimp cart!

I didn't see many of the really cool carts, my team didn't even have one. Threw my back out a couple of times carrying the bot around for all of competition.

Thursday at Palmetto, 1293 was cartless.

But for Friday and Saturday, we had this old little red wagon. With 1293 stickers, of course.

And it did the job. Although I still think that some of the team members wanted to put spinners on it.

Yeah, the 548 cart was awesome. I want to build the "Concepts" cart. It looks like a steam engine (remember Purdue), but has 4 wheel crab drive, 3 car batteries, can go up stairs (better than the I Bot), and has an awesome stereo system.

That mini-truck was beautiful! I really wanted a ride on it, but I may have missed my chance. I'm not sure. We just had a plain red metal cart with 3 levels. We kept tethers on the bottom, the control box and some tools on the middle and the robot sat on the top. It really didn't like that lip at the door going towards the tunnel from the pits at Nat's. I would have to lift it over while the guys either tipped the robot to get it under the doorway or lift it off completely while I got around them or through. It wasn't graceful, but it got the job done. I can't imagine having to carry it from the pits to Archimedes, especially on Friday. We had five matches, I believe!

Nice Pic!

Well, well, well; I have to say that is one of the most elaborate entertainment systems I ever saw on a cart (is that a DVD player?). Yet I have to disagree with omutton, because our team had to borrow a five-year-old grey blob on wheels from our school janitor, and we had to pay for it if we broke it (and we didn't). Anyway, keep building those awsome pieces of machinery... and maybe some robots while you are at it!

Re: Killer Carts!
 
indeed a dvd player...
there is a PS2 hidden inside the cart :cool:

we actually started building this the day after our robot shipped after the build, and had it mostly done by Great Lakes.

Our robot did quite well, though unfortunatly we had some alliances that didn't help us out much...

That is unbeliveably awesome! Do you mind If our team "borrows" your cart next year, if your team is planning on building a new one? :D

hey zzyzx, i don't know about the coolest cart, but my team probably has the plainest cart! it is our "lucky dolly" from 2000 when we won the nationals. it is basically 4 pieces of wood on 4 wheels, but we will use nothing else! it has become a team 25 tradition
