Re: Help needed with team cart ideas!!

I don't have any pictures of our team's cart, but I can do my best to describe it.

We have a 2ish ft tall cart with giant wheels on the bottom. The cart has a drawer in which we put everything we need on the field during elims. There are 4 arms that stick up about a foot with u-channel (c-channel, whatever you want to call it) that the base of the robot mates with. That way, the wheels are not damaged by all the dirt/metal shavings/whatever might be on the cart. Nothing but the 4 points on the chassis touch the cart. It posed an issue when we went up against 1114 (I think) and bent the #$%^ out of the front, making putting it on the cart securely interesting...

The cart is covered in diamond plating, making it pretty (my team is probably laughing at this post). It has a handle that can be removed by pulling a pin out.

That's about it. I wish there was a way to take the holding arms off so I have a place to sit during elims...oh well.
