I would first like to say that yes we are quite mad, for those of you who did not see it here is a picture of our cart. Hopefully when we get it back i can get a movie of it.
We got the cart down there in a separate crate that we managed to con..vince a parent who owned a shipping company to pay for the shipping down there.
Believe it or not the whole think started as a joke after we got tired of pulling around our old particle board cart with an electric cord at columbia(see your not the only one). Someone on a team said, "Hey let's build a better cart." Then another kid jumped in with "Hey as long as were doing that why not put a system on it." Then as long as we were doing all of that another kid though it'd be cool to put it on hydraulics. We expected our sponsors to laugh at us and tell us no that they wouldn't pay for it, but they didn't. We got all the 80/20 we needed from the scrap piles they had in their shop. They ordered us the pistons we needed and the rest of the parts we scrounged up from around the shop.
We met afterschool for three weeks(I told you we were mad) and built the sucker and let me tell you the look on the faces of the people that saw it hop was more than worth the effort.
