Unhappy Re: 2013 KB on steriods

Looking through the rules... The kitbot on steroids does not fit within the 112 inch perimiter limit.
28+38+28+38=132

The biggest bot you can make this year is 112/4, or 28x28 inches. I was saddened as well.

Re: 2013 KB on steriods

Would it be plausible to make a small bot similar to the Minibot in 2011 that just climbed up the pyramid? It might be plausible to start the game on the base of the pyramid and spend the whole time climbing up. Even taking the whole two minutes, fifteen seconds to climb, your robot could score thirty points. It would almost guarantee your robot to be picked by an alliance in regional finals if you could get your system down. Just a thought.

32" X 24", 30" X 26", 18" X 24" X 24" X 46", 35.6" circular, 37" equilateral triangle Kiwi drive .....get my drift? The max dimension of 28" is not the limit. Don't limit your thinking either.
