We really like our cart.
It's based off one of 148's designs. It allows us to easily add blocks by screwing in 2x4s or 4x4s to the top level to lift the robot wheels off the ground in various configurations. In years where we have a very tall robot like 2015, we can pull the top deck and the front supports off and just have the lower section (that removes most of the storage but it still works).
We upgraded the handle this year with an integrated rail that holds our driver station.
Here is the
full build gallery, we have CAD files if anyone wants them.
Features I like
- Large Non-pneumatic wheels - rolls smoothly and never gets a flat
- lip on the lower section prevents small screws and tools from rolling off
- no lip on the top section allows us to easily sweep off metal shaving, etc
- handle can be put on either side of the cart, not often needed but it makes it easier sometimes
- one set of locking castors and one set of fixed wheels makes it easier to drive this cart then others I've used
- fully removable handle so we can use the cart as a full flat bed sometimes
