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)?

The yellow tubes in Logomotion were the autonomous tubes correct? If the rumors about a 3 minute match are true, then it's possible the third yellow push pin could indicate longer autonomous periods. Also wouldn't a longer (3 minute) match cause another issue on power conservation since batteries are already shot by the end of those 2:15 matches! Challenge accepted.
