Nah, you don't have to make your own. It's ideal because you can customize it to suit your team's needs, but it's better as an offseason project.

I suggested a slightly modified garden cart. Here's the main modification I'd make: take a pair of short 2x4s and attach them to the bed of the cart so that the wheels of the robot are off of the cart. Now it's also a testing platform.

Or you could use a little red wagon...
