Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
I'm also hoping for 60".
The larger (84" cylinder) maximum playing configuration would allow, and thereby virtually guarantee, robots with appendages extending ~3 ft. beyond their bumper perimeters and held >8 ft. above the floor, while driving at >10 ft/sec, and swerving all over the field. Imagine the Three Stooges running around with ladders on their shoulders while changing direction every couple of seconds. It would be will be sheer mayhem!
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
