Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. Please be advised that due to insurance regulations at various venues, you may be asked to remove a powered cart or to at least disable it's drive while at that event. Insurance for an event like ours is pretty hard to write especially with all of the students and volunteers present. Adding a power driven cart to the mix when it will be used in tight places and dark areas is just too much to ask. Others have weighed in on the sound system but let me add, that often alliances are discussing strategy and assisting other with software rewrites in the Queue. With the sound coming from the field, additional sound is counter-productive and as Kara has pointed out a violation of the rules.
Again, you may be asked to remove or disable a powered cart, be prepared.
