Sorry for the page reformatting lol
I did this so the wheels were at the outermost point of the robot, and Ironically the entire drive base is 17.9 x 22.25 x 4.6 in that picture. Keep in mind this entire system is also 4 inches tall, If I were to put anything on top of this I would do an over the bumper manipulation technique.
