Re: Robot orientation: Long or wide?

There's the fact that a wider robot is going to have more difficulties getting up a ramp anyways due to CG issues. If you're designing a ramp for wide bots, you should keep in mind that you'll want to shoot for a less aggressive angle to offset this. Another thing to consider is that being able to ramp any robot out there is a pretty impressive ability to throw out in a strategy meeting.
