Re: Robot Width

My experience is use a 26x36 bot. It always fits.

A couple of suggestions for reducing this that wasn't mentioned above:

1. Weld, who needs bolts?
2. Instead of bolting directly, use two plates(also angle work in a similar way). One on top and one bottom. Bolt the two members that are currently bolted to the plates instead. That will give you a good durability without extending outward.

The first is ideal if you have the ability, the second is a quick fix that may add a few pounds but will get the job done with relative ease.
