“Do you think they’ll let our carts on the field this year?”
“Nah, it’ll be another ten years. Even though the wagon is so CUTE!”
Robots are similar to small children: They run around until they lose power and then want a ride in a wagon with a juice box.
Alliance Captain: “I really asked Santa for a Red Ryder bb gun. (And no, I wouldn’t shoot my eye out because I wear safety glasses!) But somehow Santa must have heard Red Radio Flyer, so I got this wagon instead.”

Girl wearing bib: “May I ask you where you got those pants?”
“Yes, you may.”

Little known fact - Team 356’s use of the radio flyer wagon was the deciding factor in the judges awarding them the Xerox Creativity Award at the 2003 Peachtree Regional.
[npoe] Did anyone else find it ironic that the Creativity Award was sponsored by a company best know for making copies? [/npoe]
“Love the robot cart!”
“Thanks, we figured we might be able to impart some of the mythical speed boost from the rapid flyer into the robot”
