but the outside shape of your bots body IS one of its critical functions how it interacts with the boundarys of the playfield, how suspectable you are to being pushed around, or having your wires ripped out
how suspectable you are to getting pushed into a corner or against a wall where you cant turn to get out
think of a jet aircraft - would you tell an aerospace engineer to lay out the engine, cockpit, and weapons systems, add wing and tail, and then just enclose everything with sheet metal?
obviously not - the outside shape of an aircraft affects its funtionality
and the outside shape of your bot affects how it moves and funtions on the field
and this is one of the things MOST teams forget about.
