My reason for saying this is when it comes down to it, you'll need a robot that can score in autonomous accurately, and in teleop if needed. Balancing the bridge IS easier for the smaller robot, however as proven multiple times over the weeks, it is possible with 3 wide robots.
LOL you get an A or B question and you pick C, nicely done.
