Right now we have a frame built, but not welded. Also our design makes it easy to change it from long to wide.

You can't use any frame you make now, so it really doesn't matter if you have a wide frame prototyped now, and the game turns out to need a long frame.

I forgot to mention the reason i'm making this is basically last season all parts of our robot were pretty good besides the drivetrain. As a chassis driver all i could do is either plant and sit there or run away. So basically i would like to help design what i'll be driving this year and actually have some get out of the way power in the form of a 3 speed swerve that can push and fly across the field all in one package that weighs the same as our previous frames. so basically i'm just wanting something to work with.
