Some teams (1726, 148, and 1538 come to mind) have managed to get the whole thing into a smallish case, like you might store a handgun in. It is also possible (depending on your setup, of course) to have it fold in two places, forming a single smaller, thicker unit to carry. Some teams have simply put wheels on one end and a handle on the other.

Of course, there is always the best option: don't put more stuff on there than you really need, and plan it out to take the minimum amount of space without affecting your drivers.
