The speculation about the game with be insane. At the very least, it would throw some hints about frame sizing and such.

They could reveal it without giving away any frame size hints. For example, put it together at the largest dimensions the frame possibly can go (something like 30x30), so it's ridiculously oversized for our purposes. Then just include a small note that says something like "This shows the maximum for each dimension possible with the KoP frame. This does not reflect legal robot dimensions for the 2014 season." Just about anyone who has been around for any length of time will realize that you'll have to cut a few members shorter to fit into the legal dimensions, and which members are chosen will define if you have a wide or long bot.
