Well that is what you have to decide before hand. Last year we went with a very boxy approach so we could hold as many balls as possible. This year it would have depended on how you were handling tubes or how your ramps or lifts were shaped. Next year it will be different again and you'll have to think before hand what shape to make the robot.
