Re: Best Bumper Rules EVER!

Jason,
I did not have any input on the size. I believe that the GDC decided this on game primarily. Changing aspect ratio allows teams to design stability for climbing the tower and for other parts of the game. As a result, shipping has been been reduced, in both weight and volume. I like the sizing box because all teams get to see that a robot fits or does not as does the scale. It takes the ambiguity out of that part of inspection. However, as we take a more active role in training inspectors and improving communication among key volunteers and officials, teams have come to trust that the rules of the competition are explicitly followed on and off the field. I hope!
