I do know that it is larger than the size of your bot so you won’t have too much to worry about. If the box just happens to be 48x48 than your robot can be angled in any way you want it too. If your robot is facing twords the middle of the field then your goals will be to your right.
<edit>Eric corrected in the below post, my apologies I misunderstood the rule. For clarification here it is:

Sorry again, my mistake.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
