This alone already feels like an inconvenience to check in.
Got any room in your crate? No limit to what goes in. Just make sure of two things: one, make sure the cart, robot, and all necessary toolboxes fit, and two, secure it somehow. Last thing you need is the robot destroyed by the cart during shipping (OK, I'm exaggerating, but still...).
