Pretty sure Dad 1279 meant "a little smaller than" a 30 inch square. Clearly 120 > 112.
By cutting the kit chassis rails on one end only, you can get a 27.5" x 27.5" square with 131 tooth belts on the short end and 170 tooth belts on the other end. About 9 inches wheelbase one way and 12 inches the other, with about 22 inch track. Should turn nicely, and the chassis is larger than the ball.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
