In fairness to Jack and Jesse, the original post was worded in a way that seemed to insinuate that a larger minibot is a terrible idea that no team should have used. As a mentor of a team that has built a larger minibot, I will say that it mostly came down to us finding a design that worked for us. Could our design be more compact? Probably, but after several design iterations that failed miserably, we are happy to have a functioning minibot regardless of its size.
