Q.Regarding the G4 "A" Update (2013-01-11) - For a robot completely within zone 3, how will the belay be attached if the attachment points are above the reach of the team? And will the belay mechanism allow a robot to be lifted slightly if that is necessary to remove it?
A.If the ROBOT cannot be removed from the PYRAMID under the constraints listed in [G04], the Team would receive a YELLOW CARD.

It would seem that you are not allowed to climb any higher than the tallest member of your team can reach.

G04
After the MATCH, ROBOTS may only be removed from a PYRAMID under the following conditions:
A. by the TEAM while standing on the floor without special equipment,
B. unpowered,
C. and under the supervision of a FIRST Technical Advisor (FTA), FTA Assistant, Referee, or Field Supervisor.
Additionally, if any part of the ROBOT is in Level 3, TEAMS are required to attach a FIRST supplied belay line, detailed in Section 2.2.5, to their ROBOT to spot a ROBOT while the TEAM removes it from the PYRAMID.
Violation: YELLOW CARD

I'm not quite sure what to say about this. I wonder what they consider "special equipment"? Would a 3' stick with a hook to disengage a ratchet be considered "special equipment"?
