The 38 x 28 footprint has been somewhat sacred lately, and it's possible that the GDC had issues with so many chassis designs being "recirculated" from Rack 'n Roll last year. The new CRio is smaller, why not the robots? A smaller footprint would force many teams to rethink their entire packaging scheme."

Smaller robots might make a 3 alliance match feasible, or are we missing the obvious witht the multi-colored push pins, and the GAME PIECES come in 3 colors (red/yellow/blue)?
Yellow was the color of the autonomous Logomotion tubes right? There were three different colored pins, and the third color was yellow. If the rumors are true that there may be 3 minute matches, then the rumors that there will be longer autonomous rounds could be explained by the third push pin. Right?
