That's what we thought, until last year....our robot was about 27" wide near the top, and it poked outside the sizing box. The best part is that when we turned the robot around, it poked out the same side of the sizing box at the top.

Yup, the sizing box was not square.

Lesson learned: make the top considerably smaller than the bottom.

(we always start at 26 x 36 but it seems to grow a bit)
