BTW, 26" is actually a rather narrow robot, even under frame perimeter being the dimensional driver. Many teams will build more "square" robots.

Hm.. I'd have to talk with the lead CADer...
It was 21" x 35".
Which, for the front to have the necessary width, we'd have to add 5 inches. 26 x 35 would = 122 (greater than 120), so if we take 2 inches from the back, we'd have 26 x 33 = 118 (which would fit).
And it'd be square...
However, trying to fit a 10" ball into a 10" hole would be practically impossible, so bump the hole up to 12", take 2 away from length, which would be 31 x 28 = 118. However, add 6 inches of bumper, and it wouldn't fit into the batter near the tower, making the low goal/climbing practically impossible.
And that's why we aren't going in that direction. Sorry for the miscommunication.
