Re: Robot Cart Questions from a rookie team

basically you get an idea, but i will have to say it again, MAKE SURE IT FITS THROUGH THE DOOR! and remember to include drawer handles and such when drawing up your plans, they sometimes stick out too far!
Our cart is our lifeline...inside we have EVERYTHING. it's about 5 feet long, 2 1/2 ft wide, and about 3 ft tall. We keep spare parts, nuts, bolts, wires, a bench grinder, sockets, wrenches, EVERYTHING inside. It gives us a nice big work are and a place to set the robot on when not in use. We also have a car stereo (the old cart had a smaller off-brand stereo...the new one has a kenwood system... two 6x9's, two 6 inchers and two 4 inch tweeters, along with a 1000 watt amp and a bass cannon...it's powered by a car battery). the only problem with a stereo is that sometimes it is a pain to other teams, so you have to be respectful with it. I've included some pics of our previous years cart.
