It's pretty bare-bones as far as storage, though: throw everything underneath the robot and hope the mat doesn't tear.
Same Body Glove mat, new chassis. The original handle was sanded down and slots were added for cotter pins. It's bare bones because once you remove the wheel pods, it's only about 2 inches thick. The rails are adjustable in width (perfect for our WCD) and it's more than happy to tote around lunches until we remember to eat them. The only issue is the convex Colson wheels. The back two are stationary, but the front two are casters and wobble like crazy when you try to move at a reasonable speed (at least people can hear us when we're late for a match)
