From your past experience is it a problem in having a wide cart? We would love to be able to carry our robot width-wise and with the bumpers that's almost four feet.
Would this work with the traffic flow at the championship or should we strive for something thinner? Could we do at least 36” wide?

The trip between the pits and the fields is very spacious. You would have no problem carting your robot widthwise. That's what we did the entire time.
We have a tiny cart with four universal castors. It's nothing fancy but it does it's job very well. It makes it easy to get through tight doorways if we need to. The only problem that would show up from carting the robot widthwise is getting past robots in one section of the hike between the field and pits. Teams would randomly stop and get in the way.
Other than that, there should be no problem.
