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.

Yes, your math is correct (what did you mean by "square"). We are planning a 31 long x 28 wide (plus an 1/8 for sheathing for 118.5" perimeter). The longer wheel base has a shallower tilt angle as it goes over the defenses (less tippy) and as you noted has a better chance of getting on the batter.
Why do you think the 28" + 6" side wont fit against the tower on the batter? Is your 28" the width or length?
