Good luck with whatever you end up creating.

Agreed. We had a garden cart with 2x8s around edge that was spray painted red. Robot sat on the top of the 2x6s, and the area underneath was great for batteries and zip ties. We used it for five seasons, but it was definitely a little worse for wear at the end of last year.

We had a ground level cart on casters in 2004 that was a real pain. You definitely want to be able to pull it from a normal height.
