Re: Opinions on A/M battery cart?
Team 48 obtained an AndyMark battery cart and used it throughout our entire 2014 competition season, which includes 3 regionals, the FIRST Championship, the Ohio FRC State Championship, and several local demos. It has held up to whatever abuse we've given to it throughout those events. It rolls up into our trailer just fine.
We also noted the stability issue when using 4 swivel caster wheels and reported it to AM. Glad to hear they are working on that.
We build a wooden cover to slide down over the cart and contain/protect the contents while transporting in our trailer. The cover doubles as a stand when we're in our pit, raising the level of the battery cart and allowing us to use the top as a place for our programming laptop. See attached photo for an idea of the space the cart consumes.
We have the 3-shelf version - six batteries on the lower shelves, and 3 drill battery chargers lying on their side on the top shelf.
