Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!

The smaller KOP chassis dimensions, new 4" wheels from AM, and the fact that 2012 saw a driver station in what once was an area solely reserved for human players all seem to support this idea. I suspect the new size requirements for 2013 could be 28" by 32" in order to help offset the space taken up by an additional 2 teams on the playing field.

**snip**
I think we're stretching a bit there
  • We have no confirmation on the smaller KOP size, and
  • It's my understanding that 4" plaction wheels have been available on and from Andymark for years, the only new development this year is that they're offering a new tread for them similar to the 6" HiGrips

And while there's no reason not to speculate... I don't think this is very firm grounding to do so from.
