I really hope it's 60", because all this design work would be for nothing. |

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
I'm also hoping for 60".
The larger (84" cylinder) maximum playing configuration would allow, and thereby virtually guarantee, robots with appendages extending ~3 ft. beyond their bumper perimeters and held >8 ft. above the floor, while driving at >10 ft/sec, and swerving all over the field. Imagine the Three Stooges running around with ladders on their shoulders while changing direction every couple of seconds. It Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. ![]() See Team Update #1.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
I, too hope they keep it at 60, since your strategy is based on blocking other robots, and that would be made harder to do if they can extend huge appendages.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
Edit: My Bad, this is FALSE. In my excitment I identified the height of the robot as opposed to the expansion cylinder.
The cylinder is indeed 84 inches across. Again, my bad. Last edited by BJC : 11-01-2011 at 21:55. |

Sounds like an update is coming that will correct it.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
I also hope they keep it at 60 inches because it makes the game different from 07. copying 67 or 233 from that year was my original thought but this completely changes the game and makes you have to engineer around the constraint.
It does however very much annoy that it is unclear what the rule is because we cannot finalize a design until the rule iis clarified. |

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
No, it hasnt changed at all. Why do people keep on saying that it does?

Agree. Has not yet been changed. Today is Tuesday though, and its 4:09pm. No update in sight yet. Is it not supposed to be released by 5pm, typically?

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?
Where are you planning on blocking them, when a huge appendage would stymie your block?
