Small issues. The min bumper length is 8 inches.

The 5 inches of taper you have is hard to effectively utilize with wider track width. We found 3.5 much easier to utilize with our drive layout. Other drives will have different results.

These changes will only slightly reduce the size of your comparison.

We just tried this on our comp bot and the point you raise is one of the pros high on our list. The perimeter size rules make logically laid out octagon bases attractive.
