Ewan, you can almost certainly gain some more space my making the robot longer.

There is no restriction on which way round a robot fits in the cube. The diagonal is a massive 141mm!

If you are only 20mm thick you can certainly be more than 100mm long.

You might want to check the width though and allow enough room for the drive train. You could always stick to 100mm long and make the overall width fit across the diagonal of the cube, but with 30mm wheels you wont be able to go quite so far into the corners.

I'm going to be using the remaining ~30-40mm length for the lifting forks/wedge (if I've enough time it should be interchangeable). I'm trying to maintain the scale size of the heavyweight as much as possible, though obviously I have to make some sacrifices.

Due to an invasion of school work, parties, and featherweight commitments this robot will sadly not be becoming reality for at least the next three or so months!

I'm afraid this leaves AWS21 out of my range, but I'll do my utmost best to get something done for AWS22 when it comes round!

Thanks guys
