I could be wrong but wasn't it a 70" cube?

One could always *gasp*, make a smaller than maximum sized robot.

Blending years in my head... 2008 was an 80" cylinder<R16>, 2007 was 72" width x 72" depth <R12> (both years we had 2 jointed arms).

Some new information: The rules have changed, we are now allowed an 84" cylinder.

Even though the diameter has changed to 84" the method of inspection will remain the same. If your robot were designed that it could extend beyond the limit, you would be required to prove to an inspector that software is limiting the travel or extended size. The inspector would then notify the Head Ref who will watch your robot in action to be sure that the software or hardware limit is functioning as intended. The Head Ref can call for a re-inspect at any time to determine compliance or to recalibrate his(hers) vision.
