Thoughts on the number of syllables:
So the alternative explanation to my earlier post about the significance of " 'bots " is that the number of syllables are significant. So what could 7-10-8 translate to?
New robot dimensions this year?
70cm x 100cm x 80cm = 28.58in x 39.37in x 31.5in
(last years dimensions 28in x 60in x 38in)
One dimension is pretty close, but the other two are on the small side.

Could they be dimensions of something on the field? Goal heights?

Could they be a breakdown of the times for autonomous and driver modes or some other event that is time dependent?

Possibly a breakdown of scoring? 70 pts for pasta, 100 for the shovel's show, and 80 for Montana's green heights?

My best guess would be goal heights, but it would be neat if the robot dimensions would change. It would be a lot easier to take a 40 inch tall robot to a fundraiser than the standard 5 foot tall one.
