Re: Auto body Stand Robot cart

It's an interesting thought, but it is something that you have to design a robot around. The robot has to attach to the stand using bolts on a vertical plane. This year this would have been easy, the game lent itself to "tower bots". The game changes every year and future designs may not be conducive to this type of mounting system.

The other problem that I see is lifting a robot to the hight of the engine stand to mount it.

That being said, the ability to easily move a robot and rotate it to work at any angle would be amazing. If you could design something from the ground up to do this safely it would make work a lot easier.
