Robot Size - Chief Delphi

During the year I can't wait for the game hint to be released, but then as soon as it is released and I read it for the first time my head starts to hurt and I regret reading it at all... - Jon Jack [more]

I know the rule says 28 x 42 but we assumed the was the basic measurement that could be adjusted as long as we are within the 140 in perimeter.
Can someone tell me if we are ok or not?

The 112 in perimeter was only a rule in 2013 and 2014. For 2015 and years before 2013, it was a bounding box. So you must be able to orient your robot to fit into the Transport Configuration while not on the field.
