John,
Great point, ever since 2007 1323 has designed their robots to be 27x37 which helps us in the long run. This year is a prime example, we had our wheels stick out an 1/8" but the inspector at SVR didn't catch it. So we didn't have to expand our frame perimeter, but in Davis they caught it. We had to expand it up to .5 inches but designing one inch under helped us make the adjustment easily.
Lesson Learned, just design one inch under.
