Just because they are the best, doesn't mean other teams have to do what they do. Sure, I want to get to Einstein, but I don't have to transport my robot like the Einstein teams do.

Building a motorized robot cart might not take you to Einstein, but could be a great summer project to use up some of those spare parts. Our 2010 robot didn't perform too well and was small enough to fit through the tunnel (and a standard size door). We are contemplating taking that working drivetrain and chassis, adding in an old IFI control system and a simple lift, and modifying it into something useful.
