Can you fit it in the maximum size?

For something as heavy as a typical FRC robot, the required helium-carrying device will most likely have a hard time fitting in the field, if not the venue. Trust me on this. For something like a 18" sphere, with bumpers and battery, you could probably fit said helium-carrying device into the field if you didn't max-weight the robot. However, maneuverability would be highly limited due to rules about leaving the field boundary.
