One thing you need to make sure also is that u are capeable of moving it EASILY!!! I know a few teams made really neat carts but couldnt move them. The Pneumatic tires with bearings liek the ones sold at Norther Tool Supply are awesome for makeing a cart. A lift system is a great idea too, u can buy carts with hydraulic lifts in them, but whats the fun in that?! Also make it stable, lots of carts have the uncanny ability to tip over. Another thing is make sure it can take some bumbs because the flooring FIRST uses is very bumpy. Thats all i can think of for now...
