There's was plenty of space allocated to each team last year, 3ft. The issue was people leaving their tools/robots there which will not happen this year. Any team that does will be deducted points. A big difference is we have had teams with multiple robots qualify on the same day with both machines where possible. This way people won't have Fridays robot under the bench while competing with their sat robot. This was fair and understandable however did take up more space.
