A few clarifications--
THe rules state that your 'bot must fit within an 8 inch x 8 inch x 8 inch cube
at the start of the event. After you press 'run' when someone says 'Go!', your
'bot can then expand into a bigger 'bot, if that's how you built it.
As well, if you show up with a 'bot thats like 8 and a half inches wide, I
personally don't care--you tried to make your 'bot small--it's the spirit of the
competition that's important here--make a *small* 'bot that'll sort marbles. If
you show up with a 'bot that's like a foot by a foot, you will be disqualified.
That's what differentiates this competition from the other one--I'm all for
'spirit of the law' above the 'letter of the law' ;)
But don't go walking all over the 'spirit of the law' by showing up with a 'bot
that's bigger than 8x8x8 that can, just by people seeing it, look like it could
have been made smaller.
