Re: Best Drivetrain
I believe one of the factors of not changing the footprint in recent years is due to cost. If the footprint were to change, lets say to double the size, that would mean a larger kit frame, longer chain, etc. which may cost FIRST or some other vendor more to create. It may also not be feasible for the playing field size to have 6 robots on at the same time.
I truly believe one of the big issues with the 2008 game is that the field was too small to have 6 robots fighting traffic trying to achieve the game challenge.
Also, if the footprint changed by just a few inches, why even do it?
