I HATE MOTORIZED CARTS!
They are big, awkward, unecessary and when teams don't properly stow them away they are a real pain to move because they are so heavy. Every time I see teams make these monstrosities I think "why don't you put more time into building a better robot instead?"

I'm going to add more from the perspective of queing but let me start by saying that teams should take the time to take care of their carts once they get their robot set up ASAP (it doesn't take 4 of you to put the robot on the field). They are a hazard to the field personel and to the otehr teams. The sides of the field are reserved for essential volunteers like refereers and field reset amongst others. It is a sign of great disrespect for the time and effort they are sacrificing on your behalf when you leave your cart smack dab in the middle of their work area.
