the only thing the rules say about downward protrusions is this:

[G20]
Robots in contact with the carpet on their Alliance Station end of the Court are limited to 60 in tall. Otherwise,
Robots are limited to 84 in tall.
Violation: Foul; or Technical-Foul for repeated or continuous violation.
Based on my interpretation, this rule counts all vertical projections. A person can increase their height by putting on platform shoes (projecting downwards), or by putting on a tall hat (projecting upwards). The same goes for a robot. So, be mindful of which carpet you're touching and the total height of your robot (including the downward projection) if you're going to try this!
