Sorry those are my desired dimensions, with the key problem being either dimension over 28. We may end up 38x38 or something else square.

Q: Why not six wheels ?
A: Because if we drop the stack while perpendicular to the platform bot isnt level and the stack might might tip over. Also want to straddle platform for precision.

Q: Why not 4 wheel tank ?
A: To get around the 28' limit the wheels need to deploy out and dealing with
drive belts adds risk and complexity.

Q: What about traction/stablity issues
A: If center of gravity is rear of center wont that minimize those problems ?
