We have done only one mecanum competition robot in our history.

Ya if you think about it like this, a past robot would be 38" x 28". This year if you keep the length then you'd have 38" x 17" or keep the width and have 27" x 28". These are gonna look like little children compared to past years' bots.

Really? I could have sworn I asked a few people on your team back in 2011 and they said you guys were on like your 3rd or 4th mecanum robot.

Nope just that year (although I wish we would have used them for Breakaway.) Our t-shirt robot occasionally sports them.

Not yet

There is a bit of a debate (at least in my head) of color combo.
