Don't be too sure... All of the C-channel in the Kitbot is 30" long, which makes a 32"x25" bot possible to build, although it is illegal.
My only gripe with the kitbot this year is the way the belts work with the size constraint. The belts are designed to work with a 6-wheel, 30" long robot.. what if you want a shorter robot? We decreased our length, and now the belts don't work with our 6 wheel design.
It seems to me that, when giving teams so much flexibility in the size/shape of their robot, they really shouldn't limit us with belts. Now we have to wait on sprockets to arrive so we can go with custom length chain.
