Hi all,

I'm yet another first time bot-builder currently designing a FW horizontal bar spinner which has the working name 'Little Spinner'.

I have a few questions but we'll start with my current predicament: I started designing the body of the robot before choosing parts (I know, I know) and now I've realised that the Gimson motors (GR-EP-45E) don't actually fit in the machine end-to-end (See below).

I guess have 3 options:

1) Install the motors side-by-side and have a belt/chain to the wheels.
2) Re-design the chassis to be wider so I can fit the motors end-to-end.
3) Use shorter motors

At the moment its ~32CM long, ~33CM wide and 10CM tall...no idea about weight!
