Re: 38" as the front of the robot?

The only rule that would concern you at all is:
Quote:
<G15> ROBOT Starting Positions – Prior to the MATCH, the three alliance ROBOTS must be
placed entirely inside their HOME STRETCH, touching their Alliance Station Wall or the
angled fence in front of their local ROBOCOACH STATION, and not contacting any other
ROBOTS.
So having a wide robot isn't a problem, you just have to ensure that your robots aren't touching (the starting area is 13.5' wide, but some of that is at 45 degrees, and 3 wide robots would be 9.5' wide, so you should be fine)
