Re: Cart Rules

There are few rules governing carts. The ones that are there are mainly practical limitations, as follows:

Nothing about number of wheels. (Also note--carts may need to traverse cable protectors/slightly uneven flooring.)

I would also add that height should be considered in the "fit through a standard door" requirement.
