Re: Are you taller standing up or lying down?

So to follow up on Gary Dillard's Q&A, if the floor is not horizontal, does the TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION stay orthogonal to the horizon, even if the floor is not horizontal? That could cause a problem, not only for height, but also length/width. Remember with the old sizing boxes teams sometimes had problems fitting it in, because the robot was slightly out of square?

I'm not saying we shouldn't make accommodations for tilting the robot when paths go up and down ramps or through short doors. I'm saying that this new Q&A requires another update to make it strictly legal.
