Seems a bot with a wide appendage at 84 inches would block any shot.

ROBOT height (as defined in relation to the ROBOT) must be restricted as follows during the MATCH:

If in contact with the carpet in its AUTO ZONE and/or its PYRAMID, ≤ 84 in.
Otherwise, ≤ 60 in.


You cross the carpet at the edge of the pyramid (outside the auto zone) and it is a foul, a technical if you keep doing it. Not exactly a good strategy for an "on the fly" modification. You are trapped and can't load disks, not that you had been shooting any in the first place.

Now, if you built a wallbot that could raise and lower it's wall from 84" to <60", that may work. Just don't leave the AUTO ZONE while you are extended.
