okay .. perspective on this from a Canadian ... while building our EduBot for the BetaBot Challenge at the Canadian Kickoff, our team used inches ... only because that is what the measurements in the manual were .. i know that when i first said inches in proposing a height for our robot half the team looked at me and was like "what ?? " so i ended up drawing out the proposed dimensions on the board and labelling them in both inches and centimetres ... i think that for the big bot we will be following whatever dimensions that are in the manual ( so probably inches, with a side measurement in centimetres for the team on design drawings )

Yup, the metric system is alien to me as well. When I went to England for eight weeks and the signs had # of Kilometers till the next exit on the highway, I didn't have any idea how long that was. Ya'll may think im an idiot for askin but.....does that equal a mile or at least close to a mile?

don't worry youre not an idiot .. i believe that one mile is equal to 2.2 kilometers or approximately that .. so driving on a highway here (its not a freeway) the speed limit is 100 km/hr ...
