Re: Long vs. Wide Drivebase

You'll literally have no space to turn once the other two robots are on. 3 wide robots, with bumpers, will take up 28X3 inches + 4X3 inches, or 96 inches. The bridge is 88 inches. You get a few extra inches if the wheels of the end bots are right at the edge, but not enough. Someone has to hang off or be way smaller than the max dimensions.
