That's why you have a trailer with a gate that is down so that when it dies you can pick it up and put it on the gate, and then put it back down on the ground when the record fast "pit stop" is done.
(this was done a record 4 times during our 1.1 mile parade route - Batteries stink!)
See THIS PICTURE for reference. The red gate with the wheels on the ground in front of the robot was from a flatbed that the local rotary club donates to us for this very purpose. Our drivers sit up there and control the robot from the flatbed, with a donated generator from the fire department that we plugged the controls into..
