Re: Powered Robot Carts

While we see a few motorized carts come in every year, be advised that some venues do not allow them for insurance reasons. Some venues just want to minimize the amount of damage to the venue and some will make a blanket statement about all carts when one really bad design shows up. Be advised that the people you have to satisfy will be venue staff, event coordinator, regional committee, UL Safety Advisors, FTA, Head Ref, and possibly LRI. I rarely have seen a motorized cart come in a second season, never a third.
