Dunno about that one, Sean. If they do like they did in 2007 with the height/weight classes (which didn't return the next year for some unknown reason), there could well be a number of smaller robots. Or they changed the size after the kit frame material was made and teams have to do the cutting down.

Sure, it's likely to be the same, but there's no reason for it to be, based on a single box dimension. (Not to mention the fact that said box could very well be a pre-built lift system that must be on the robot, not a KOP frame...)
