Relative to the floor is the whole problem here. If this was robot relative, then you could have a team extend mechanisms etc. and determine at inspection time in the pits whether they fit in the cylinder.
Who knows. Usually it's a non-issue. Last year we measured anything that extended out and that was that. Is it a perfect system? Heavens no. I was merely pointing out how similar situations had been handled.
