Re: Robot chassis shape

Our Vex team tried using a Triangular shape for their robot. While our mentors thought it was a revolutionary concept (being more difficult to block and easier to control), it ended up simply being a hinderance. The team agreed the triangular shape made it harder to center and attach parts.
The odd shape design could potentially be a good idea, but only after it's been worked on extensively. Otherwise it's just for show.
