Re: Buying a team trailer - Advice please?

I'll have to check the specs on the one we've got. I know it can be pulled by a minivan (and has been in the past).

It fits 3 robots plus gear very nicely and has both a ramp/back door and a side door. Probably on the bigger end of things but we've managed to pull it with just about anything.

I'll see if I can get some more details on it.

Re: Buying a team trailer - Advice please?

A trailer comes in very handy when you need to move your shop and robots around. Team 1345 recently bought this trailer and we are very happy with it. Please email me or send me a pm and I can give you details about this trailer.

Re: Buying a team trailer - Advice please?

We have a parent with a 6x12 that retails for $4,000 and required a good size truck to pull. For the fall classic (a southern California off season event) we used it to transport our 08 robot, a prototype crab, several toolchest and rolling carts, a large table and still had plenty of his heating and air conditioning equipment (the purpose of the trailer usually).

So for referance, I'd say something smaller than 6x12 will do fine .
