Wooden stands get added each year to support the robot, raise the wheels off the platform for testing, and to not have a metal on metal contact. This insulates the cart from the robot and doesn't scratch either as much.

Other things, like tools, are able to slide off the top but they shouldn't be stored there anyway. Not having a lip on the top shelf allows for larger items to be placed on the cart with overhang and they sit level. The bottom section has a lip so that tools, batteries, and other items will not fall off.
