Yes, a device would be disqualified for having an over-dimensioned box. This applies to all build events, always give yourself a bit of a margin to make sure you will fit into any supervisors' measurements.JSGandora wrote:Oh, I see. For those of you who did have it, how was the leeway in dimensions of the box? Like, would the event supervisor disqualify you because your box was 20.5 cm?

Actually, to correct my brother slightly, you wouldn't be dq'd, you'd be put in tier 2 for the event. But he gives good advice: be prepared for the fact that my ruler might be a bit different than your ruler.
