Well I'm the one who asked the question that generated the Team Update today, so I asked a follow-up question (since after the change in their answer I still don't have an answer).

Q. Follow up to Q273 - is "tall" in the definition of Transport Configuration in R3 in relation to a horizontal plane, or is it the longest allowable dimension of the robot? I am 6'2" tall, if I lay on my side I am still 6'2" tall (and no, I am thankfully not also 6'2" wide). Your answer says that the orientation of the Transport configuration cannot be changed; orientation in relation to what?

Opinions? Basically we need to take an L shaped robot and fold one leg to the other in order to get it to fit into the transport configuration. The horizontal leg is the chassis and the vertical leg is the tote lift, we had planned to rotate the chassis up and attach it to the lift which we can still do. But it would be much easier (and much less likely to fall on someone) if we were to just drop the lift onto the chassis. It will still fit into the same envelope, but the tall side would be lying down. The rule doesn't define tall - in past years "height" was defined relative to the floor, but while on a cart or being carried it's not on the floor. If it's a horizontal plane and you happen to tilt it while carrying it, are you in violation?
