I'm pretty sure one of them is more than 80 inches high, but I'm not sure about the other. Could be interesting times for queuing if some of the teams have to pull their robots off a cart to fit through the door.
FYI for anyone going to the Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional but don't know the layout: our load-in door is a large roll-up door that you could literally drive a truck through. The pits and arena are part of one large space that we divide up for the event, so the limiting factor for height while carting around a robot will be the rod-and-drape dividing the pits from the arena.
