We haven't put it in our shipping container, but then again we don't need to. Both competitions we went to last year were in driving distance (one in town, the other a day's ride by bus), and it fits perfectly in one of the compartments at the bottom of a standard coach bus (laying on its back).

The cart is built to take a beating, which unfortunately means it's heavy. It took 4 of us to lift it into a truck. While i think we could fit this in our crate with the robot, I doubt we ever will due to the weight. As I'm sure you've found with your robots in the past, designing and building something to be light weight in addition to having all the functionality you want makes things a lot harder.
