(Originally Posted by JHSmentor) in response to the robot width being the 38" direction - I believe this is totally legal but it does state in the rules that the trailer will be attached to the SHORT side of the robot. so, if the robot design had the wide sides in the front and back, then the trailer would be sliding along beside it on the left or right.
I don't think this is a rule at all. If it is i know i missed it.
