- You have ~23% less total volume available to you with the triangle configuration than the square configuration (with maxed out dimensions and an equilateral triangle).
These two items would dissuade me from pushing it in most cases, but in a game where space constraints are not an issue and you need wide pickups, I could see this configuration being useful.

The door point is what would get me. I never have even considered this as a factor in robot dimensions but if we can't get it out of our work room then we will have a tough time competing....
