It's because in a game, there could be real mean folks who think of nasty
ways to subvert the game, ie, 89 pound battery boxes etc. Gentlemen
wouldn't do that. That little phrase has now come to mean, "Bah, we're not
really that strict on anything in all honesty."

I think that's it. If you can build a board that can be swapped out with a
"regulation" board without any problem, then by all means use it.
Otherwise, stick with a onspec board to keep the playing field level.
But all that said, if it's gonna mean you won't come, we'd rather see you
there with a magenta and puce board versus no robot at all.

32x32 grey is hard to find in Toronto retail. 48x48 grey is easily found at
Zellers or TRU and is very cheap ($12) so it's easy to get a 48x48. Good
idea to have anyways, useful for all sorts of projects as well as for
cleaning up Lego as a large shovel :)
