Re: bot carts. need info!
You might want to also consider, regardless of whether it is motorized or not, making a cart that can be partially or completely disassembled. The cart our team had 2 years ago was a large slab of wood with short sides and casters, and was rather wide to fit in cars and through some doors. The new cart we have is designed so that we can adjust the height of the rails the robot rests on and the entire cart can be taken apart and fit in a very small, narrow area. A cart that can be taken apart is extremely easy to transport and tends to be pretty light.
You might also want to ask sponsors/mentors for help with your cart. One of our mentors asked our main sponsor about help for building a new cart, they asked him what we wanted it to do, and they came up with a design for it and sent it to us.
