Re: Poll: Wide or Narrow Chassis?

In my mind, the game lends itself to wide drives.
Wide-
Wider entrance for balls into frame
Ease of use for pickup because of this^
Ease of use of bridge and fitting robots on it

Narrow-
Possibility to be more stable when crossing bump and/or bridge
"Traditional"

If you can make a bot that is "stable enough" in a wide configuration, then I think it is the best option.
