I'd like to see shorter robots, if anything. 5' tall is just a bit too much to handle at times. With that, they'd probably reduce the max. weight a bit, too.

I don't see them making the footprint much smaller unless they really switch around what components we use. The motors, robot controller, battery, and electronics are all dead space that is necessary to have - so making the base smaller would just make everything very, very tight and cramped - and not much fun at all.

Oh, can we get rid of those stupid lights?
