Re: Most Limiting Robot Restriction/Rule?

I originally voted weight but now that I've thought about it the 80" max rule is the limiting factor. With the trackballs being 40", and your max starting width without falling down is 38", it's going to be hard to grab around the trackballs and not go over that dimension.

Weight, starting size and max horizontal size are all things we've had to deal with before. The flag holder rule is just a newer variation of those rules that, over the past couple of years, become a common place rule. It's had it's refinements over those years, just like any rule. Anyway it'll be interesting with the game this year.
