I know the figures are just a suggested starting point, but I think
the volume should be a total in cubic inches. For example: the Light
class above would be 6"x6"x6"=216 cubic inches.
This would off contestants the option to built large & flat, small &
tall, cube shape as above, or long & lean configurations, or anything
in between.
The Scottish Lego Rugby sports used a maximum area I believe. I don't
think they included height.
