Re: Small robots in 2008

We discussed it in our strategy meetings. We're not going to do it, but we definitely brought it up as an idea.

Any team planning on hurdling will probably want to have a robot with a large base (for stability), and herding on the floor might also require a larger base. If you're planning on just driving around, though, I could see a definite advantage to having a small frame, to make it easier to slip through small gaps.
