It's possible to have the rails, but make them adjustable so they can fit multiple robots over the years. 330's done that for years.

I'm a tad bit concerned over the lack of support up high. What I mean by that is, what's keeping the rails from bending, either away from each other or towards each other, or in unison to one side or the other? Also, what's the moment like if someone jostles the robot while it's being moved? (Read: if the robot is at max height, in motion or not, what's it going to take to knock it over, cart and all?)
