You forgot the blood! I can't count the number of times that I or a team member have scraped or cut ourselves on robot or cart, especially since the 2007 robot had an off-board compressor. Someone built a simple shelf to hold the box so it could charge the robot while the robot was being hauled from Pit to Arena. Fine, except that the shelf dual functions as a razorblade when the compressor box isn't on it.
Now that you mention it, our cart should have warning lights to warn people away.
