Re: Thoughts on whether the size change will be permanent?
I think FIRST made the change to make this game harder. At 28x38, this game would be much, much easier. (More room to index, more room to put a hanger.)
I'm personally quite happy with the change, as it does stand to make robots more transportable. (My car BARELY fit a 28x38 robot on its side.) Easier transportation is nice both in-season and for demos.
Which brings me to another point: FIRST has really given us some games that lend themselves to demos. I know we plan to keep our 2012 robot Incocknito together, and hopefully get it back to operational in the off-season.
