What if you modified your original cart design to haul 2 or 3 batteries instead of just one? It's more weight, but hopefully a lot more range.
I've got 2 1-ups.

1. A quad/golf cart pulling a trailer cart

2. A Segway pulling a cart.

We built a pull cart with some armor we had to take off rookie year to make weight. We stuck a battery inside with a switch to turn on neons colored to whatever alliance we were on.

We also (one day) decided to screw a 2x4 to our rookie 'bot and then one of our seinors rode/drove it around school. Suffice to say we got some odd looks from the teachers that were there that day...
