Re: pic: FRC 2949 PWNAGE Battery Cart

I can only begin to express my envy about your energy supply strategy. This is a gem for sure. I think the 80/20 people will join the rest of us in our desire to see construction details. There was a famous supercomputer, the Cray, that had its power supplies arranged radially around the perimeter of the CPU. There were seat cushions on them. I mention this as it is quite possibly the only way you could improve this cart. Oh we could go radical with a Droid interface that can report the status of each battery and turn on an indicator light next to the battery suggested for use in the next match. While you're at it a Wi-Fi hotspot? Home page to NASA select or the Blue Alliance on a built-in screen?

Siiiiigh......

The only thing I noticed was that the pins holding the handle in place stick out the back. (I think) If they do, it would be an exposure to the handler's shins that could be reduced by making the pin holes go side-to-side in the bracket holes. I know, big deal, right? I'm going to color this whole post green for envy. thanks for sharing.
