Re: Attn. Rookie Teams: Don't go quite to the max dimensions

Our bot this year will be 26.5"Wx34"L. Somewhat close to square, with lots of breathing room for inspection. People usually dont take bolts or other protrusions into account when designing their chassis, which always get you when you max out.

I think FIRST should have their dimensions square, like 38"x38". That way you could design a square chassis without losing a potential unecessary 10".
