Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.
This is very restrictive for this year's game. Last year there was a 72x72" box, which works out to 102" on the diagonal. That's for a trivially thin robot though - in effect your arm could stick out about 38 or 40 inches in front of your robot. So this year, although the "grabbing target" of the game piece is nearly twice as large, you have about the same restriction on size.
