*] ADDED - Modularize the doggone thing. Loading the current config on the back of a school bus is not a fun task.
Scissor lifts don't sound half-bad, if it fits within the modularization part. I'm thinking of just raising a platform for where the robot sits, and leaving a space under it for tools, or baggage when we unload the bus.
