Go to Post How is it that so many team representatives have the time to run up the post count to astronomical levels in a game hint thread, while so few seem to have the time to say thank you for a $6K gift that funds the ability to play the game? - Rich Kressly [more]

With frame perimeter rules, are you really gaining extra room this way?
Last years modules only costed about $220 each. I expect this years to be a little higher, but still not too bad. the encoders we are using are non contacting magnetic absolute encoders, so I doubt the would break. Although, if they did, they only cost about $10.
I'm not really sure what you mean by "With frame perimeter rules, are you really gaining extra room this way?"
