It's about 26" wide and 32" long, but should be right around 36" long once the bumper mounts are put on.

We removed the servos and went with the globe motor but won't have it running until Monday or Tuesday as it'll need some software work. We found that the servos didn't provide enough turning radius and when we increased the pivot, they'd start to lose power so we figured we wouldn't risk it and made some changes. Before removing them, we did do some speed testing and went about 35' in 3 secs from a dead stop. We may gear a little higher to prevent wheel spin as it seems to have a little too much torque right now.
