Re: Advantages to a long bot?

Long bots are more stable overall. Some think they are easier to drive. Stability is key in FRC-- I often see robots much taller than they need to be driving around. You can almost never go wrong with a low center of gravity. Making your robot wide requires that CoG to be lower to retain stability from tipping.
