Re: G04

Keep in mind that while the zone three horizontal bar is 90" off the ground, it is possible* for the robot to have made a valid 30-point climb and not violate any height/volume restrictions, and yet the bottom of the robot is still only 6" off the ground at retrieval time.

*I said "possible"... More likely, you can just barely leave the 60" bar and still be a 30-pointer. A robot 5' off the ground should be manageable by the vast majority of teams.
