I hope they clarify this soon as this is something teams need to know while designing.
I've read that similar issues came up in 2007 (Rack n Roll) where you could have a 72" robot, but the crate was still the same size and somewhat shorter than your bot could be. Basically, you just had to deal with it (though crates were for every event, not just CMP).
