Most teams use carts to transport their ROBOT throughout an
event. Carts are not required but are strongly recommended (to minimize risk of
muscle strains, dropped ROBOTS, and other hazards). In addition to the rules
listed below, teams are strongly encouraged to put the team’s number on the
cart, refer to the FIRST Safety Manual for ROBOT lifting
techniques, and practice putting the ROBOT on and off the cart to develop a
safe, quick, fluid routine.
