True, and I took that into account when saying that I don't believe any will.
Since, according to the earlier poll on the subject, only 16% of robots will be running a "wide" base, I don't believe we'll see very many, if any, cantilevered wide drives. You can just call it a hunch.

'lil Lavery was right in that you should design for a 38 incher anyway... just in case.

We'll just have to wait and see if my hunch is correct.
