Re: Thoughts on whether the size change will be permanent?
I liked the perimeter restriction on the whole. I don't like the current number, and as many have pointed out, is likely a very specific rule for this game. The rule of the perimeter restriction allows more diverse robots, because you aren't in "lets use every last inch they give us" mode.
For my team (and several others I saw at WPI), the creative usage of space, especially for electronics, was a cool side effect. Our robot had 3 hinged lexan panes with electronics on them!
I'm personally anticipating the GDC's next move here. I'm of the mind that the NUMBER is the rule that leaves. I think the perimeter measuring rule is here to stay.
