That would be almost to ironic. Sounds great. I wish ours would be a little more collapsable. Ours is nice and big (and heavy. Takes up a lot of space, but can haul a lot. It does take some maintance though). But, it has it's own power supply and we used to have a compressor and air tank on it. The battery was rechargable and we would basically just plug the entire cart into an outlet and it would charge. We always had our robot plugged into the cart before the match, so that we could make sure that all of the air tanks were full and everything was alright. It was very handy.

Sounds like your cart is going to be really nice, what type of material are you using? I look forward to the pictures. And get "Peter" to post some more, I'm getting very interested.
