We left the BB rule since we have had it for so long.

You are correct R03 was supposed to be edited to only regulate the 112in frame perimeter. It's interesting that the expansion rules are redundant in the UA manual both as game rules and as robot rules.
Is there no maximum height limit then? I looked through the rules and couldn't find anything else limiting it, but it's never safe to assume.
