Re: building a robot transport

Stephen has reminded me of a rather important point.

Made sure you can fit through a standard door way. That means a 36" wide footprint at most (ADA requires 36") I have seen teams that have had to take their robot off their cart to finagle their cart through the door at the Georgia Dome. Not fun.

Another consideration that teams seem to neglect is the little plastic ramps that contain the AV wires. You've seen them, they are about 4 inches tall with slopes on either side. Teams with small caster wheels have great difficulty surmounting these simple obstacles.

Good luck!
