rather large box – roughly 30” x 24” x 12”)
• One drive train kit (roughly 40” x 4” x 6”)
• One battery box (with two FRC batteries – roughly 8” x 12” x 10”)
• One FedEx envelope with shipping documentation
• Three small packages with miscellaneous KOP items (only several ounces each)
Odd, that is a differently dimensioned chassis kit than we were told before. Because of the different dimensions on the battery box, I am more inclined to believe these figures. Before we were told the chassis kit was 6"x6"x36", and they could have mislead us as to not tip us off to a new chassis size. I would not be surprised if they upped the dimensions to 30"x40" this year to help accommodate for the larger control system.

Also, as they are switching chassis kits this year, it would seem an appropriate year to change the max size.
