Didn't see that, but I saw team 1006's 2006 robot moving device: 1 leaf blower was enough to lift their robot at full weight. Need I say more? (Though you would have the directing problem, but that's what the other drive team members are for.)

Also, remember to put space for the operator interface. The OI is (can be) a very awkward piece of equipment, if it's long or in multiple pieces. It's easier to put it on the cart if possible.
