A cart to haul the robot from the pits to the game field is an absolute necessity. It also makes a wonderful working surface in the pits or in the cue before matches. The cart should be able to fit through a standard door. Just remember that a standard 36" wide door does not have 36" of clearance unless the door swing is a full 180 degrees. I recommend 33" wide. Doors vary from 6'-8" to 7'-0" high. If the robot Max height is 60" then the top of the cart needs to be 1'-6" inches high. This allows 2 inches of clearance on a 6'-8" door. I recommend that the cart have pneumatic tires and only two of the wheels swivel and the other two are fixed. Add a shelf to the bottom to keep tools and spare components. You will need some sort of stand or blocks to place the robot on to calibrate the joysticks. Fashing light are optional.
