Re: motorized robot carts

We have a motorized cart which is built on top of a motorized golf bag caddie. Unfortunately, the extra batteries needed take up a bit too much space so generally it is just pushed, which is no issue if one is going forwards, but it has an anti-rollback feature that makes backing up a slight issue. It is low to the ground and stable. The design allows for a couple of extra batteries to be stored in the bottom of the cart since the batteries are about the same height as the caddie's motor housing.
