At the championships? I'd prefer to have the space at a regional as well. Even when your pit is a modest 300 feet away, it still seems to take an awful long time to get there and back when you need stuff and all you have is 10 minutes until your next elimination match!
And does it really have to be motorized? Just give it big pneumatic tires, a handle, and storage space and you'll be waayyyyyy ahead of many teams.
PS
Do not put small hard plastic wheels on your cart! You
will have to pick it up over the wire covers and it
will be a big pain in the neck.
