Re: Robot Cart Ideas

We have a simple, robust cart, that scissors closed, for adjustable height. We drilled holes in the top for screwdrivers, and we screwed pieces of lumber to the car, so the robot rests on structural member, not wheels that will roll off the cart. It lets us keep a few batteries underneath, as well as a battery and inverter to charge the driver station. Don't forget to keep a few wrenched, screwdrivers, and zip-ties ready on the cart for last minute repairs or general tightening while on queue.

Got questions (about Notre Dame, robots, college, etc), don't hesitate to ask.
