We have a small cart with a hydraulic lift (i believe from Princess Auto) and we put a stand on it for the robots wheels to stay off the cart, so it wont roll away.

We have a pit made out of Extrusion, and diamond plate. Very expensive but was all donated by MK Extrusion and Centerline (Windsor) Ltd. The have casters on them so all we do is unlock the wheels and roll them away. For playoff's if the pits are far away, we bring one of three cabinets and the tool chest to the field side. Worked perfect for u s last year

Here is our cart

I'm looking for a picture of our pits right now. We got ALOT of compliments for them last year.
Well 675 has a pit cart that is large and bulky, but very useful. We want something that is like 675's and 254's combined. 254's is very easy to maneuver from what I remember and has a large hole for their bumpers in it, but I'm not sure if they have the drawers for tools. (knowing them, I bet they do!)
