Re: Methods Of Transferring Robot Onto Field?

I try to get handles into the design of our robots....sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. This year is not too bad, but the "handles" are 1/8" thick aluminum, so gloves are helpful. The past couple years we used "meat hooks", they work but they are inconvenient compared to having handles built into the robot.

Years ago I got a nasty bite on my finger from loading a handle-less robot into a truck for trip to a demonstration....never again.
