while I agree that this response from the GDC answers nearly all concerns, it doesn't answer the question of what they consider a corner. Is it any angle between two pieces of plywood. Is it simply a change of direction? Is it something greater than 45*? Like the one picture in the rule book shows, there is a continuous section that rounds a 120* angle corner. Now - this corner appears that it probably has a 6" side on one part and a longer side on the other. So, I'm assuming this is a corner. I'm also assuming, however, that if this was a continuous arc in the frame rather than a sharp corner or change of direction, and if you could bend the plywood to match, then the total segment length could be 6" around the bend. Would this be a feasible design? I have no idea - never tried to make a roundish robot or even part of one and I have never tried to bend plywood. It may be physically impossible and a moot point.

So, is this relevent? Yes - if it were possible to do a curved section (or round robot for that matter) then it leaves open more flexibility.

Also, can someone please explain to me what is meant by "lawering" the rules? How can simply trying to understand the rules properly so that you know your appropriate limitations for your design be considered lawering? Anyway - just want to understand since I have seen it used in many different contexts.
