2014 (Aerial Assist) and 2013 (Ultimate Ascent) were both 112" perimeter. Additionally, most teams chose to be under 30" tall in Ultimate Ascent, and significantly shorter in Aerial Assist. And both were played with a much bulkier control system. In Steamworks, by comparison, if you choose to have the smaller base, you'd better have a very good reason for the 24"-36" part of your robot, as I can think of numerous advantages to the short/wide configuration.
