Re: building a robot transport

i have been working on a cart design for the past two years but i havnt been able to make it happen due to lacking funds. i figure that if you are going out of the way to transport it to the competitions, it should be worth the effort. the cart that i have in mind is motorized and collapsible so that it could easily be transported in the crate. it is somewhat modular: it is designed to fit various types of platforms, tables, etc. the coolest feature that i had in mind was a leadscrew-driven scissor lift so that the platform could raise or lower to any height. all i have so far are rough sketches, but i plan on transfering them to inventor eventually. if i can figure out how to put it together entirely with old parts, maybe my team will be able to show it off at this year's competitions.
