Physical sizes of feathers

Yes, I know, it depends on the bird. Anyway, what are the sort of footprint sizes of the various featherweights in the competition, as it is a touch hard to discern from the videos. Even one bot's dimensions would help me, as I can compare other bots to that in the vids and work the others out.

Cheers.

usually between 50 - 150mm height and anywhere from 300 to 500mm square. theres the odd exception to that of course but generally speaking.

I generally try to design feathers to be smaller then 400x400x100 to keep them compact. The melty bot ended up tiny at 250x300x75 and the wedge was over sized at 350x500x75.

Most of the time size is dictated by the parts you have and the design you want to build.
