Driveman,
The shape of the robot shouldn't be determined ahead of time. As you design your mechanism, let the robot chasis grow organically around it. A perfect melding of form and function.
This way, you'll have plenty of room to integrate the kill-saws.
Seriously... a simple square "base" with some mechanism on top usually works well. Some teams design their robot chasis/drive ahead of time. Some tweak these designs to accomodate a "ball chute" or other mechanism. Others design the robot around the mechanism, or make the chasis itself part of the mechanism.
Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
