Dimensions are 38"x28"x60" starting size.

The only restrictions are:
Quote:
<R11> Prior to the beginning of the MATCH, the ROBOT shall be placed in a STARTING CONFIGURATION that fits within the dimensions listed below:
Maximum
Width
28 inches
(71.12cm)

Maximum
Depth
38 inches
(96.52cm)

Maximum
Height
60 inches
(152.40cm)

Maximum
Weight
120 pounds
(54.43Kg)

Any restraints (elastic bands, springs, etc.) that are used to restrain the ROBOT in its STARTING CONFIGURATION must remain attached to the ROBOT for the duration of the MATCH.

<G17> ROBOT Starting Size - At the beginning of a MATCH, each ROBOT must not exceed the maximum weight or volume specified in Rule <R11>. The Head Referee may call for an inspector's recertification of the ROBOT size and weight prior to the start of any MATCH. ROBOTS in violation will be prohibited from participating in the MATCH.

<G18> ROBOT Orientation - ROBOTS must start the MATCH with their long (maximum) dimension in a vertical orientation. After the start of the MATCH, ROBOTS may change their orientation such that the long dimension is either vertical or horizontal. Refer to Rule <R08> and Rule <R17> to determine how this affects the use of STANDARD BUMPERS and FLAGS.
The long dimension is the 60"
