We're putting motors on ours. people ask us bout having to run to a match quick. That's easily solved. We are going to have it so you can loosedn up a couple screws and slide the motors back sp you can push it really fast. krhs_programmer said something about being in your cart while drivingit. I was thinking about that also. But there's that extra weight then that puts strain on the motors. and also then you have the people (like me) that would want to just take it for a spin around the pits! I still have to say that team 548 made an Outstanding cart. I hope i can talk to you guys about it at nats.

Hey thanks for the comments
Yeah we're pretty proud of our cart, it's our team icon and our team is notorious for it. Last year, the goal between regionals and nationals was to make it self-propelled but we ran into a time crunch and had other priorities to tend to. (As for the music, where do you think the rule came from?
)
It is heavy, but with the heart our team has for the cart, it is never really left to one person to move it around or guard it or anything. What I didn't mention was that it has a "horn" (people hate when we honk it) so it's never really "in the way"...
We can't really ride in it, but Matt, the student who did the fiberglass, was standing on the pneumatics last year riding it up and down while we were showing it off at the Great Lakes Regional. I have seen carts that look like small cars that kids drive around in.
Two years ago, our cart had a fog machine (where do you think the rule came from?
) and when we used it, the FIRST people came out with fire extinguishers.
Yeah that's all I can really think of.
