Re: The 72 x 72 Box
The GDC has answered at least one question on this already in the official Q&A forum. Look here. And here. And here.
How do you 'prove' your robot fits? Hmmm.... looks like it won't be part of inspection -- see the inspection checklist. No reference to <R12> there.
The referees will be looking for robots that extend too far on the field: "if a device has a horizontal dimension more than 102" and it is used outside the Home Zone, then it will automatically be assessed as a violation of Rule <R12>. In all other cases, each robot will be assessed in real time as they operate outside the Home Zone to identify any confgurations in which they violate the dimension constraints specified in Rule <R12>. A robot/device that has the physical potential to violate the dimension constraints, but does not actually do so during the match, would not be in violation of Rule <R12>."

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
