Exactly, 100%.

My thoughts are it allows wheels that shouldn't be touching to be forced to touch, causing a wheelbase longer than you're supposed to be on. Combined with the already huge lateral forces from the defender, you're STUCK!

If only a bunch of teams would be willing to mount gopros to the underside of their robots for a few events...

It's interesting how the drivetrain arms race has evolved.
