Re: robot design question

I see one problem with this design concept with the way I am reading R11.
The width is defined as a max of 28 at the start and during the match. The way I am reading this rule, you can't construct a 'wide-body' robot. Does anyone else see this the same way I do?

"<R11>At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the dimensions listed below:
Width Maximum 28 inches (71.12cm)
Depth Maximum 38 inches (96.52cm)
Height Maximum 60 inches (152.40cm)
Weight Maximum 120 pounds (54.43Kg)"
