Re: Minibot dimensions

Without an official ruling from the GDC, i wouldn't design a minibot longer than 12", since it has to be 12"x12"x12" through the entire match. The rules don't say that the minibot can be 16.97"x.01"x12" during the match, it says 12"x12"x12".

Re: Minibot dimensions

Guys,
The official answer is your minibot in all configurations must fit and remain inside a 12" cube.
<R97> The MINIBOT will be inspected for compliance with the dimension constraints specified in Rule <R91> by being placed within a Sizing Device that has inside surface dimensions consistent with the rule. Other than resting on the floor of the Sizing Device, no part of the MINIBOT can break the plane of the sides or top of the Sizing Device during size inspection.

At the beginning of inspection your minibot will go into the box and be weighed before proceeding with inspection.
