2 boxes from IFI. One is 36" x 4" x 9". The second is 12" x 16" x ?"

It's just just more fuel for the rumor mill. This will at least help folks decide whether their trunk is big enough :-)
That's pretty darn standard. In the past, the totes have been the motors, pneumatics, batteries, loose stuff. The long box from IFI would be KitBot. The other box is the control system; it's no more than 6" deep. Nothing new here (other than BOTH boxes weighing 70 pounds--bring a dolly or cart).
