Glad you like it!

If you go this route, check your local Batteries Plus. We got our for a steal from them.

We personally built one this year using the second shelf of an old tv cart. It houses not only our robot batteries in an upright position but also holds our power tool batteries. The entire thing costed us $5.00 for some 1x2 wood, and wood glue. The cart was found for free in ours schools basement. The nice thing about it is its a great laptop workstaton and there is extra storage for our drill bit box, drills, and chargers underneath.

I don't have a picture of ours right now, but definitely make sure you allow for space for chargers for all of your cordless tools as well. We also have an extra, empty power strip mounted on the cart in addition to the one that feeds the chargers, which makes for a really convenient place to plug stuff in in the already busy and crowded pits.
