Re: Thoughts on whether the size change will be permanent?

I love the new method of sizing robot frames by using the perimeter. It encourages teams to put more thought into the design of the robot compared to the "these are our max dimensions, let's use all of it" approach. There should be some more interesting frame designs this year compared to the last 6 years. I'm also hoping that we'll see more light, zippy robots this year instead of a fleet of 120lb rectangles.

Best of all, we finally got rid of that darn sizing box!
