Re: Thoughts on whether the size change will be permanent?
Erik and Daniel,
Previous rules did not put a serious restriction on shape or really dimension. The 28" limit that all year's rules have included is simply to insure that robots can make it through a standard door opening. This is an issue many people forget. Many venues have large overhead doors but those are generally not open for use during the event. Some venues that have large openings require building staff to be present to operate the door. That is often cost prohibitive for the event. (imagine paying a building engineer overtime for 12 hours on a Saturday)
