The robots do get a bit large when you put bumpers on them. The bumpers end up being about 3.5-3.75 inches thick (.75 in plywood + 2.5 in + Fabric + Fasteners) on a side. This adds up to 7-7.5 inches per axis of frame dimension. So if the size limit is 38 in x 28 in and you subtract 7-7.5 in well that gives you a 30 in x 20 in frame which, coincidentally, fits within the AndyMark frame kit nicely.
Like I said, I would bet that you have it (assuming we're not missing something in the KOP list). I can't say I'm happy about it though, I really liked the size. Like other people have said, the large dimensions are what make FRC challenging and fun.

But if we would be using the same sizing box would mushroom bots be allowed? That would only make the frame smaller not the robot. We would still have the same sized robots.
