Re: Poll: Wide or Narrow Chassis?

We're building both wide, narrow, and a third and we'll decide in week 4 which to advance from prototype to the final design. With 70+ students and 15+ mentors, we have the advantage of three full build teams.

Myself, I'm voting for wide. I think going over the bump is overrated in importance, while fitting on the bridge is underrated by most. A wide bot might also be better suited to two shooters, one for scoring and one for inbounding.

With three build teams working, and a ton of great ideas from CD, I'm hoping for a lot of good options down the road. At the worst, it gives us a lot of opportunity to fail faster which is something we've never mastered.
