Re: <R3> A. Robot Height

I think G22 is pretty clear, measured on a floor when the robot is on the floor. If you design causes the robot to tilt (by dropping a foot or wheeled plate) and during operation a part of your robot should approach or exceed the dimension, you will have to demonstrate that you limit this action in software or hardware, just as in previous years. Inspectors and refs will be watching and checking. I would bet the Q&A will respond that is your responsibility to insure no part of your robot extends above 78" while playing on the field, but please ask.
