Something I need help with is defining the size of the
arena. I would like to do 2x2 feet or 2x3 feet.
I need the dimensions on a typically built bot:
 1. boebot with/without ping sensor attachment
 2. mindstorms bot
 3. vex bot (I can do this)
 4. spybotics (I can do this)
 5. Other common chassis?

Will all of these likely fit within a 6" cube?

What is the most narrow passage they could
realistically travel through without careful steering?
Can they drive over a 1/8" bump? How about 1/4"? try
things like a penny, coaster, or corrugated cardboard.

Can they go up a 15degree incline like a 6" cardboard
ramp to a 1.5" elevation like a 2x2 beam or thick
book?

Thanks,
-Gray
