I concur. Team 57 went with the little red wagon cart this year. It had a custom built wood frame to support the robot and a really hot paintjob. We never quite managed to get the spinner rims installed, though....

Anyways, there's a large number of things you can use for a cart. If a little red wagon is still too big, get or make a 4-wheeled furniture mover. it's a square of flat 2x4's with four casters on it. Your cart can be as simple or fancy as you require it to be.

If you're still wanting to just push the robot around, get a couple of quick release connectors. Run the outputs of your speed controllers through these before they go to your motors and just pull them whenever you're going to push the robot around.
