The problem is, there's no "one size fits all" solution to carts. Every robot is different in its length and width, wheel positions, or preferred frame support positions, which makes it really hard to create a single cart that works perfectly for every robot. Then you can add in venue restrictions (like having to fit tall robots through short doorways) and you have trouble having a cart at a working height as well. Add in transportation issues, and you have to worry about the weight of the cart and how it fits into your trailer/truck/bus.

I'm curious how we could solve all of these issues for every team - it would have to be a very creative design! I know my team has used 4 different carts over the past 10 seasons, and each one has tried to address these issues differently.
