I haven't seen anything that prevents your robot from having "sideways" wheels so that it travels "left" and "right" instead of "forward" and "backward", and the trailer hitch isn't required to be mounted on the "back" of the robot.

So even if the front of the robot is defined as the narrow side, the rules don't seem to make you put that front facing away from the trailer.
