Re: Need help in deciding the configuration for an off season chassis prototype

Team 254 was 27.75"x28". Technically wide, although it was pretty much square.

Is there a specific reason why you believe that WCD's are run in a long configuration? Is it just what you've seen, or is there an underlying design advantage for a WCD that is best seen in a long configuration?
