Go to Post ...I tried to pump it up to the 47 inches. I stopped around 42 inches, than tried getting it through a 36" door.

Re: COTS: How far should it go?

What if a weaker team wants to design their own bot? If other teams are using COTS parts, it forces everyone to be at that level or better (if they want any chance at all).
