Re: Will your robot fit in the box?
Mmmmm. Sizing box. It's so true what's been said about the unforgiving box. I will (sadly) say that we had to (slightly) modify the robot thanks to the sizing box. But teams, I can tell you now! While SOMETIMES an inspector may be nice enough to let a ziptie head that pokes out 1/16th of an inch over the 38 inch limit slide, don't let it happen. Play it safe, and leave a 1/2" safety zone on all sides of the robot to account for any parts that stick out.
