a plurality of wheel connectors respectively and rotatably inserted into said bases, and
360-degree-rotatable lockable wheels respectively and rotatably attached to said wheel connectors;

a connector system comprising:
a plurality of X-shaped round-bar connectors respectively connecting said round bars together,
a plurality of T-shaped round-bar connectors respectively connecting said round bars together,
a plurality of U-shaped square-bar connectors respectively connecting said round bars and said square bars together, and
a plurality of bolts and nuts respectively securing said X-shaped round-bar connectors, said T-shaped round-bar connectors, and said U-shaped square bar connectors to said round bars and said square bars;

an adjustable foldable arm system comprising:
a plurality of first telescopic arms,
a plurality of second telescopic arms,
a plurality of U-shaped telescopic-arm connectors respectively connecting said first telescopic arms to said X-shaped round-bar connectors,
a plurality of U-shaped foot-toe connectors respectively welded to said round bars, each of said U-shaped foot-toe connectors having at least one slot,
a plurality of L-shaped telescopic-arm joints respectively and foldably connecting said first telescopic arms and said second telescopic arms together,
a plurality of locking pins respectively inserted through said L-shaped telescopic-arm joints and said first telescopic arms for releasably locking said L-shaped telescopic-arm joints and said first telescopic arms in place,
a plurality of U-shaped locking rings respectively snap-locked on said locking pins for releasably securing said locking pins to said L-shaped telescopic-arm joints,
a plurality of feet respectively welded to said second telescopic arms, and
a plurality of toes respectively welded to said feet, said toes for straddling said at least one slot for respectively securing said feet to said U-shaped foot-toe connectors;

a panel system comprising:
a plurality of roof panels for covering said frame top,
a plurality of side panels for respectively covering said frame sides,
a plurality of end panels for respectively covering said frame ends,
a plurality of panel-sealing grommets respectively attached to said roof panels, said side panels, and said end panels, and
a plurality of arm-securing ties respectively sewn on said side panels for respectively tying said first telescopic arms and said second telescopic arms to said side panels; and

a bungee cord system comprising:
a plurality of bungee-cord-locking balls, and
a plurality of panel-attaching bungee cords respectively tied to said bungee-cord-locking balls, said panel-attaching bungee cords inserted through said panel-sealing grommets and hooked on said bungee-cord-locking balls for respectively attaching said roof panels, said side panels, and said end panels together, and for respectively attaching said roof panels, said side panels, and said end panels to said round bars and said square bars,

whereby said eleven-device-in-one 360-degree-rotatable rollable portable lockable collapsible expandable carport can function as:
