If it isn't a hint...I don't feel comfortable with a cart that's narrower than the robot on top of if. Not at all. I barely feel comfortable with a 28" robot on a 30" cart. Repeal please? Please? Please? I am not rebuilding that cart. It's too awesome.

That said, I want my cart music. I know why they got rid of it, but I still disagree with it and I think we've lost a huge part of the character of FIRST.
This "rule" has been this way for years. The point is to allow the cart through a standard doorway. Teams have, and will continue to make their carts larger (doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea).

If you do want to keep your cart under 30", you just need a set of risers to put on it to hold your robot which would presumably be wider than the cart.
