Re: Rule G05 and Autonomous

We recently reread the rules and found out that Rule G05 might kill our entire beginning to Autonomous. Can anyone clarify whether we would be breaking Rule G05 with our strategy?

All that starting configuration means is that your robot cannot be outside its own frame perimeter before the match, be taller than 60", and have a frame perimeter greater than 112".
