Ok, I'm going to object to that line of reasoning. What if a team has been fortunate to only be at regionals where the pit size has always been 10'x10'x10'? You expect those teams who have never experienced the pit size contraction to be aware of other regionals' pit sizes?
I'm fully aware of the administrative manual stating the pit size may be smaller, and to plan accordingly. There is no mention of a minimum pit dimension, which I think would be nice (as an engineer, I like to bound my requirements). I do appreciate the heads up from Bill, because I'm sure there are many teams who aren't aware that the pit size could be smaller than 10'x10'x10'
