I'm fairly certain those angles are just what it ended up being. However, the reason we did angled corners like that all is (a) the octogonal shape gives greater area inside the frame perimeter, (b) the shape of the corner (kind of) allows the robot to "lock in" against the tower and the driver station wall for batter shots, and (c) the cut off corner allows us to roll off of defenders more easily.
