Re: 2013 Robot Dimensions

We would have liked to go with a 38:28 ratio, but couldn't. We had a shooter proto w/ hopper in week one that we liked that was 26 inches wide. So we made the robot 26.5 inches which left the length to 29.5 inches.

We built the bot to the full spec of 112" knowing we could keep a tolerance to .125 inch over the entire bot. Our plan was that if we came in to long on the perimeter to take a smidge off the corner bumper mounts.
