Re: Long vs. Wide Drivebase
The reason a wide robot is tippy is because it's only 28" long (maximum), not because it is wide. With 8" wheels you have a 20" long wheelbase maximum, probably considerably less since you probably need some frame to be outside the wheels. It's the short wheelbase that is the issue.

Not unless you use a 20 inch wheel.

The Dean Kamen segway wheelchair (Don't know the actual name off hand) would be ideal for this game
