Didn't we decide at the post-event dinner that the box in the middle
would be turned 45 degrees?

ie, a line drawn perpendicular to the sides of the pedestal should pass
through the corners of the playfield.

Also, if anyone cares, I calculated the following dimensions:

If the box is not turned (like in the current picture), then the
distance from the corner of the playfield to the closest point on the
pedestal is:

3 x 2^1/2 feet = 4.24264068711928514640506617262909 feet = 4' 2.911"

And if the box is turned:

4 x 2^1/2 - 1 feet = 4.65685424949238019520675489683879 feet = 4' 7.882"

These are all +- 1-2 inches, because of the width of the walls.

I'm such a nerd.

BTW, Calum, I feel honoured that I'm featured on the rules page :)

What about awarding something like 1/2 point when one robot was on the platform during the match?

like:
If no robots are on the pedestal (at the end), each robot that WAS on the pedestal at any time during the match will receive 1/2 point.  ("on the pedestal" is still defined as completely off the playing field)

Also, you may wish to add Spybots to your long list of allowed controllers.

(...) I actually remembered that last night. I don't really care each way-having you attack on a corner is moderately more difficult, but not really. I think we've established a precedent to make things less easy for the sake of it, but I'm (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
