Motorized Cart
I know this question will be asked again by the seniors and last year we erred on the side of telling them no, but I thought I'd put the question out there.

Is it against the rules to have a drive-able cart?

After our robot was shipped to World's last year they built a driveable robot cart. It has bumpers on it that stop it dead so if it bumps into anything it doesn't move. Basically it is a robot with a marine battery underneath the main robot. Doesn't take up anymore room than a normal cart it just has a seat where the driver would stand.

Last year the drive team were juniors and we told them "Better not risk it". This year is their last and I know they'd love to drive out there.
