Re: Robot Size and Shape: What's Best?

Just from a rookie's perspective, a low body, high weight design seems best. it's how we built our robot, and we put a forklift on front. our body is only a foot and a half tall. the height comes from the forklift. using a smaller body with a higher weight is in my opinion better because you can have a stronger chassis, lower center of gravity and more powerful equipment.
