Re: bot carts. need info!
Building something is great and my team would love to do it if we had the time and resources.

However, what I've also seen a lot is teams mod'ing carts that you can buy which already do what you described. Buzz has a cart with a medium sized tool chest on it. Personally, I don't care for having a driven cart. I'm more interested in having nice big wheels and being able to lift the robot to working level. To accomplish this, check out industrial suppliers like MSC for mobile lift tables. The name varies from supplier to supplier. Depending on the size and features, you can get one for as little as $400 or as much as $10k. That's a hefty price for many teams, but if you can afford it, it's probably worth it.
