one thing that most teams forget is the max size your bot can be at the start of the match DOESNT mean the robot cannot be standing on its side when the match starts
too many people think the bottom of the outline box MUST be the bottom of the robot
it doesnt
you could build a bot that sits on the field on its side, and at the start of the match it falls sideways onto its wheels
that means you could have a base frame (what were the limits last year?) 3 feet wide and 5 feet long? or 5 feet wide and 3 feet long?
or a circular bot 3 feet in diameter?
this is one time when you literally need to think outside the box.
