You are making a basic assumption (not unreasonable, but not necessarily true, either) that the robots are going to be the same size as before. There is nothing that says the bots can't be smaller, or at least have a smaller foot print. That would just be another design challenge. The issue would be the size of the control boards in that the drivers would have less room on the end. (Unless, of course, there were two levels of drivers, the ones behind higher so they could look over the ones in front.)
