Intake Size

I just quickly did this back of napkin calculation:
Quote:
For long-orientation robot:
Front length = 28"
Bumper per side = 8"
Max intake width = Front - 2*Bumper
=28-16
=12
1. Did I miss something.
and
2. How are you going to get a decent intake in just 12 inches. (The wide orientation at 22" is leaps and bounds better, if not spectacularly large).
