Re: Robot Cart

Our students built a new cart shortly after the stop build date. The design is alot like ToddF's pictures, except a bit longer and shorter (it fits under doors). They made a simple frame out of PE20 aluminum (I think thats what it was); put lexan on the bottom of the frame along with a pad so someone could climb under the robot and work (or nap; it even has an elevated piece of lexan with a headrest), we can store bumpers, balls, batteries, and/or drivers station down there too when it's queueueueing time.

The lengthwise supports are adjustable easily enough (for forward compatibility), and support the robot by the frame instead of the wheels, so the wheels can spin freely.
We also attached some PVC tubes as tool/flag holders.
