Re: Robot Cart Suggestions
Last year our team unveiled our uber-cart. It had an extruded aluminum t-slot frame (very simple to put together), with four drawers for parts, etc. We also installed a head unit and speakers to keep us pumped up. We had extruded risers to lift a lexan platform another foot off that part of the cart. This is where the robot was layed. We easily had body level access to the robot. The blue ground effects were also a sweet addition.
BUT, you guys may not have access to that kind of stuff (it took us 9 years to finally get a good one built)...But yea, any kind of wooden/aluminum frame with 2 casters, and 2 mounted wheels (one year we had 4 casters, and BOY that was fun)...anything that can support a robot, and has wheels, is probably good enough.
