I'm sure they realized this already, but if not, then right here in this post, I am officially documenting the first call to the GDC/Game & Robot potion of the 2009 Manual writing crew to boost up size & weight requirements for next year.
Not by much, but just a little bit.
I don't want to see double sized bots, but an extra few inches & pounds would be greatly appreciated!

Please?

(Btw, anyone know a weight difference between just 1 Victor vs. 1 Jaguar?)
The problem with increasing size and weight restrictions is that OSHA regs will get exceeded for safely picking up an object by 2 people and also the size of it is pretty much standard for moving through a door.
