Re: Advantages to a long bot?

In all honesty my team has only ever made long bots, after our rookie year. We like them more since it is easier to control for a driver, you can fit more wheels in a standard drive, and when we tried a wide bot with mecanums it responded weird when driven diagonally (this could have been our programming but we just didn't like it). One year where I think it was really good to use a wide bot was 2009 since it made it much easier to pick up moon rocks.
