Motorized Carts

We built a motorized car last year, but several times the battery died at competitions so we had to push the cart so we had to pust abainst teh motors. Has anyone out there built a motorized cart that they can disengage the drive motors so if the battery dies, you don't have to push against the motors?

If so, how did u do it, and if u have any pics, that would be cool too!

Thanks
