Just a reminder to keep in mind the following when building your cart:

3.3.6 NEW: Robot Carts
To protect team members and mentors from muscle strains and other injuries as they transport
the heavy robot from the Pit to the competition area, we recommend that team members and
mentors use some type of cart, keeping the following in mind.

• Carts must remain in the team pit area when not in use for robot transportation
• All carts should fit through a standard 30-inch door
• Wheels on the cart must not damage site flooring
• Do not add music to the cart.

Prior to competing, your competition team should practice lifting your robot onto and off your cart.
Refer to the “FIRST Robotics Competition Team Safety Manual” for robot lifting techniques. By
practicing these safe techniques, your team members will also develop a quick, fluid routine.

Also, section 3.12 of last years rulebook states

Yes, the rules differ from year to year, but I doubt that these rule will change drastically anytime soon.
