Re: measuring from bolt to bolt

The robot has to fit inside a box that is only 28" x 38" x 60" inside. Yes, you need to fix it.

We design our robots to be only 26" x 36" but they usually grow as we add parts.

Also we had problems last year with the top of the robot being as wide as the bottom, and the robot would not pass inspection, because the "sizing box" was not square. The base of the box, that the robot sits on, was not perpendicular to the upright parts that are used to check the size at the top. So, I suggest making the top of the robot even smaller, perhaps 24" x 34", if possible. It seems to be better to be conservative, than to have to try to explain to the volunteer inspectors that the test equipment is faulty!
