Hmmm ... interesting thoughts ... I would probably take two carts to
begin with, however, only fill one and bring it back to the starting line,
then grab another cart, and fill both carts this time, and bring both back ...
hopefully within 5 mins.  Another thing that would help for timing
purposes, would be a tone every 30-sec, and on the first trip with
two carts, determine the amount of time you need to get from the starting
line to the Legos.
