Re: Wide aspect vs Narrow aspect

We found it pretty difficult to fit an entire ball harvesting system, ball storing system, ball feeding system, and ball shooting system into the 38" of the robot's length as was. I think turning the bot sideways would even further reduce the amount of space we would have had for all of these different systems.

While a robot like 195's may have benefitted from having a wider area to pick balls up, I think our bot was better built in the "traditional" orientation.
