Re: Question about carts

The one thing that I would caution is having motorized wheels on the cart. If the motors or batteries die mid-competition then you will have to manually push the cart. We used to have a motorized one until we had this happen; from what I heard it was not a fun experience for the whole weekend at championships. Our current cart is really versatile (parts can be shifted quickly, it is light, and allows access to the under-side of the bot) but does not house anything besides the robot.
