As a general tip, you should have some sort of platform that lifts the robot up for easy accessibility. Our team uses a special scissor-lift that brings the robot to a comfortable height, and we have crossbars that "jack up" the bot so we could test the drivetrain and put our hands underneath. Think about reusing the cart for years to come as well. Robot shapes and designs change, so make your cart adjustable and give it the ability to hold bumpers and other large items. Most importantly, your cart should be maneuverable and compact enough to fit through tight spaces (use swiveling casters, etc for wheels). We found this out the hard way when our original cart was too wide and too tall to fit through the doorway! Be creative, but be sure to follow the cart rules too (sadly, no music allowed on the cart).
