Have you modified it in any way to be able to add some sort of toolbox?

We've considered these before and have also considered integrating a leadscrew driven lift into our own design.

I've personally always liked 254's cart design.

It is simple yet has space below for a toolbox and has an integrated battery holder similar to their robot's battery holder.
