Balls outside the 84" perimiter?

[kfgk14]

Is it permissible in the rules for the balls being carried on the robot to extend outside the maximum of 84" height? I.e. if your launcher design held a ball and the top of the ball was at 86", would that be permissable? Thanks.

A ball is not part of your robot. Else, it would have to be included in the weight restrictions. So it doesn't affect your robot dimensions either.
