They taped the cylinder because they didn't have time to reprogram it to start out the match with the cylinder fully extended...I think.

There is no rule that says you must start <= 60". Only that you may not be >60" if you leave your auto zone. Since every robot starts in their auto zone, robots may start up to 84".
This is kind of a new concept this year, and there's been a lot of confusion. I myself didn't realize it until I saw the discussion about it, and checked the rules myself. So just an FYI to everyone, it is not illegal to start taller than 60".
It sounds like 832 had some other infractions, which is very unfortunate.
