We made ours out of 80/20. It folded up and had casters on the bottom. We also made a slide-out handle. We based our design off of a rolling suitcase.

This was the first year for us using handheld controllers with the Chiclet (sp?). A couple of our team members made a Poly-Carb suitcase, and the controller and controllers were placed inside. They then threw on the traditional honeycomb and I think it looks pretty good.

Note, we learned the hard way to put velcro on the bottom of the controls. A high speed ram at nationals wiped out our controls for an entire match. NOT GOOD.

ill try to get some pics to post of the oi i made last year its pretty cool its very stylish but the wire was a little not pretty because it was the first thing i made but it looks real nice and got a bunch of compliments at regionals and some at nationals

This is what I built for MORT for Lunacy. The sliding action is just using a CD drive that I removed a lock from and attached a piece of polycarb onto. Built in extra USB ports as well for the Driver Station. All the wireless stuff was inside too. Sheet metal bottom to ground the DS with, polycarb panels, and 80/20 standoffs. Also a separate battery pack for the lights and whatnot.
