Interesting that FIRST is distributing a two-dimensional box to us this year...

If it isn't that, they forgot to measure the electronics box. That's odd, though--the electronics box isn't really listed, unless it is that 2D "box" and they forgot to add the 6" depth dimension. They might have put that one in the totes this year, though--but they never have before...

Ironically, I noticed this spotlight as I made this post:

It is probably just a typo or something but the 36" x 4" x 9" box would be about 2" too short for the KitBot as we have had in the past. The uncut length of the KitBot "bumper" has been 37.375" long in the past. Either the 36" box length is a typo and should be 38" or the KitBot has changed from the past. Maybe the robot dimensions will not be 28"x38" this year? Maybe a 36" long limit?

Hmm...

My dad thought the same thing. Size change seems to be imminent.

Or a new kit frame... who knows.
