Re: Best Drivetrain

I think that the width requirement was intentional - just barely small enough to get through doors with the bumpers on. The GDC is trying to give us problems to solve wherever we go with the robot. One of the disadvantages I see to going to a smaller footprint is the impressiveness factor. One of the most common comments that I get is "I didn't realize the robots you kids make were so big." Bigger is not always better, but it is often good for showing off, one of the best ways to promote FIRST.
