Re: Robot Cart
My team actually makes a new cart each year to fit our needs and preferences for each robot. We wouldn't buy a cart from a supplier, mostly because the people that make the cart each year enjoy it and we can make a cart that works better for our needs than a supplier could.
Our carts are usually very simple, with just a table top with a 2x4 border at around waist height. Also, we have a second level just off the ground for storage of tools and such, and one year we had drawers on the bottom level.
For 2015, our cart was a bit more complex. We built a cart out of a hydraulic car jack, so we could transport the robot with the jack lowered and raise the base of the robot to just under waist height when doing maintenance in the pit. We also included extra battery storage, a place for tools, a spot for our driver's station to mount to. It was far more complex than our usual carts, but the height of our robot in 2015 needed the adjustable cart.
