Re: Poll: Wide or Narrow Chassis?
DonRotolo, you are a genius  BAD is so good xD
On a more serious note to the people considering wide chassis for the potential for a wider BAD™, a word of caution. I had a bit of experience with working on a BAD™ and conveyor system a few years back. It is CRUCIAL that if you make your BAD™ wide, you have some way of funneling balls down to a more narrow path for whatever your scoring device is (unless your scoring device is very wide, though I'm not expecting many of those this year). The worse possible feeling in the world is building an excellent BAD™ and the game pieces getting jammed because the robot has no good way to shunt the pieces into single file.
