The robot frame was 30"x24", dont rember wheel spacing exactly but it was ~11 inches give or take. Here's a CAD render of it.

2014:
6 wheel WCD with two 3 CIM Ballshifters geared to 6/16 fps before losses. The wheels were the 4 inch AM performance wheels and the frame was 23.5"x32" with about 8" between wheels. We almost went with no drop on this but decided to go with a very slight drop to be safe. Wheel also almost made it a four wheel WCD but decided against it. Here's a render of the robot.
Very interesting. And very beautiful robots as well - thank you got sharing. As Chris said above, with the new frame perimeter, it appears less drop can be run with these wheels than before.
