I haven't measured them myself (I wasn't part of the walk-through last month), but they should all be standard door height, which is 82". However, two of the doors are at the end of ramps, so when rolling a robot onto the ramp you're likely not going to have a full 82" to work with, and it could be several inches less.

In situations like those, teams will have to do what they need to in order to get their robot through the door. As T6 says, "ROBOT parts occasionally transported outside of the TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION will be overlooked"... Having to tilt a robot to get through a doorway (and then returning upright before continuing on your way) would, in my mind, be an occasional exception to the transportation requirement that we would have to allow for teams that built to the absolute limit and have no other way to get through a specific doorway.
