What's the tolerance supposed to be on these heights? The only thing I remember reading is this section.

However, as the ARENA is assembled in different venues by different event staff, some small variations do occur. Fit and tolerance on large assemblies (e.g. the LOW GOALS) are ensured only to within ¼ in. Overall gross dimensions of the entire FIELD may vary up to 4 in. Successful teams will design ROBOTS that are insensitive to these variations.
That would lead me to believe that the pyramids at Hub City are out of tolerance but I might be wrong.
