Robot Crate

My team is currently picking over designs for not only the robot but the crate as well. We came up with several ideas, all of which include using the doors as some sort of shelving.

One of the concerns here is the weight on the hinges, so we were thinking about putting wheels on the corners of the doors to support the extra weight.

Is this allowed or would this count as being "unsafe" for stacking.

Thanks,
Chris McKenzie

Darn, I got into this for the battles!
