Re: Robot Cart Suggestions

Our cart is pretty simple. Welded frame with medium size pneumatic tires. It has a method for turning it into a workstand, but we never use that. Removable handle. Painted with our team colors. This year we added a mat to the frame that can carry a basic tool set and a battery. The cool thing is that the robot rests on a pair of rails that can be adjusted to the robot in about 5 minutes. just loosen about 4 screws per rail, slide the rail, tighten the screws.

One thing about speakers is that FIRST does not like them on. The At The Event section of the manual says something about playing music, including cart music. I can't remember just what.
