The 2013 change in perimeter rules (112 in overall perimeter vis-à-vis 28in x 38 in) open new potentials for non-rectangular robots. The team decided to explore this.
In particular, the new rules enable the design of a 3-wheeled robot without paying as large a penalty in terms of reduced stability. Benefits of a 3-wheeled drive-train are potentially reduced drive-train and chassis weight, and/or a drive-train with enhanced features (which might otherwise been impractical due to drive-train weight).
