Re: Driving long?

True that. It hasn't been clear on our videos so far, but we've got a deployable collector. I've just assumed that everyone else driving longways does, too... (Except perhaps some inexperienced teams that don't realize how critical it is.) I think in this game that even if we were driving wide, we'd still have a deployable collector!

One of the primary reasons for driving with the long orientation for us was barrier crossing; another is center of gravity driving up the bridge.
