We kept to a 24" x 26" perimeter last season while staying short enough for the low bar, so it is doable. We did strictly defenses but our arm for defense manipulation cut through 13" of our 26" frame, and there was room for a ball manipulator we were working to try to add at our regional.

Mounting all the large electronics vertically and grouping by power and control sections is how we freed up most of our space. RoboRio, radio, signal light, and VRM went on one side of the bot, battery, PDP, and main breaker went on the other. All were mounted on vertical boards from the chassis bottom to our top frame rails, so 7"-8" of space.
