We are planning to ship the robot by folding the claw on our arm back so that it fits in the box, but when the robot is holding the ubertube, our CADers have noticed that the claw would stick out of the starting configurations given.

Any clarification would help, thanks
According to the U.S. FIRST website, it states that you can build your own crate. I'm not sure if there's a limitation for the configuration, however there is for weight. Any robot that exceeds 400 lbs will have to pay extra for shipping
