Robot chassis shape

I saw an old closed thread about the shape of robots' frames, and I was just wondering what was considered best particularly for robustness. Is a simple rectangular bot good, or a more abnormal looking robot best? Also what are the downsides to each shape.

One of the old posts talked about how the shape shouldn't be designed, but that it should just sort of evolve with you robot's creation. How about it?

There are many robots out there. Which shape is best for robustness, compatability, and effeciency in electrical organization and drive trains?
