ROBOT SIZE IS NOT SMALLER

[ggoldman]

I just wanted to make sure that the robot dimensions have not changed. I didnt think that it would have and I wanted to make sure that no teams worry about having to make new crates or what not.

HAve a great season

See you at Nats ( those who apply)

A. The allowable dimensions will be noted in the Manual at Kickoff and posted here then.

So much for thinking that we got a little extra information before kick off. That's what happens when FIRST gets lazy and decides to re-use the same information. Oh well.
