Re: Poll: Wide or Narrow Chassis?

I can tell you that my team is leaning towards wide right now and the main point is this: ease of picking up balls. I know you are all arguing that with so few balls on the field we won't need to be able to pick up fast but I believe that fast isn't what the teams going with wide are looking for, we are looking for ease of use. We want something like many of the gatherers last year (33 is a good example) where we can just drive up to a ball full power and pick it up without any fine alignment, almost as if we have some magic vacuum at the front of the robot. Plus there is always fitting on the ramp...

P.S. I love the term BAD and am going to start using it whenever possible.
