Two questions about keeping it in the footprint

You definitely COULD NOT have a 30x30 robot (it wouldn't fit in the 28" dimension).

Also, it must not ever extend outside of the 28x38x60 box, as at any time during the MATCH, the ROBOT is decidedly in some PLAYING CONFIGURATION. A ROBOT can have many PLAYING CONFIGURATIONs, but no one of them can extend beyond the 28x38x60 boundary. Essentially, if you want an arm type manipulator, you need to build your STARTING CONFIGURATION (and by extension, your drive base) to be substantially less than 28x38x60.
