Re: bot carts. need info!

Whatever you do, use good, strong durable wheels.

If you use cheap wheels, they will most likely break on you at the most inopportune time as ours did last year at the Championships. Because we could only go in once on the first night to get all our stuff in, we loaded everything on our cart together. Before we made it 6", the front two castor wheels broke.

We bought another pair of cheap castor wheels the next day and they broke again, so we broke 4 wheels just at the championship event.

So, USE STRONG WHEELS!
