Okay, so it just has to be 12" in one dimension then basically?  Like fit

Since nobody responded, and I kinda need to know this (as I assume other
builders do, too?):

The only restriction on size, according to the current rules, is that:  The
robot/device must fit between two parallel planes, spaced 12" from one

Doesn't that mean I could have a giant, massive pole sticking straight down,

The only real change I think we'll do (Chris and I are building the frame next
weekend) is probably to put something to stop the thing from flipping 360 all
around.  Probably a stick at the base to keep the rotation to 90 degrees off
horizontal.

I guess we can also make the height of the beam so HIGH that if someone
did build a 8' broom stick, then that would be cool to see.


hummmmm

ok, im game.

So nobody has any problem with the beam not having a counterbalance, and it cartwheeling wildly out of control at the begining of every game, with the slightest offset in mass between the two robots, and guilotining the lower-guy's robot (...)
