Re: Help needed with team cart ideas!!

Ours is very simple. The frame is made of Star Bar. We have 6" poly-uretahne wheels. It used to be painted yellow, but the kids did a nice job refinishing it last year. We printed out a large logo on paper and put that under polycarb as the upper surface. This looks really good from the stands. We also added two cross bars about 6 inches off of the surface to boost the robot up (replacing wood blocks).

I would recommend not getting too carried away with the cart. Remeber 1 multi-time National Champion (3 I believe) as well as several time Regional Chairmans winner uses a simple furniture Dolly. They put most of their resources into build a good Bot AND a good team. I am all for fancy carts, but not at the expense of something more important.

The light Idea for working during dark times is a great idea. I remember a couple of almost national champions last year searching for Light at Atlanta while the speeches were being given.
