Re: Wide vs. Tall

For my team, the robot configuration is dependent on strategy. If they wanted to pick up gears/dump fuel, then the taller configuration is advantageous. If shooting in the high goal is what they end up wanting to do, there are more mechanisms requiring more volume in the robot, so wide would seem advantageous.

Important things to consider for either design:
If you intend on having a floor intake, the wider the better.
Don't forget about space for electronics, battery, and pneumatics. How is accessibility impacted.
If you intend on having a floor intake, the wider the better.
would you like to be able to extend past your bumpers? perhaps for intake
If you intend on having a floor intake, the wider the better.
If you intend on having a floor intake, the wider the better.
