If it had been universally unenforced, that'd have been more acceptable than the uneven enforcement we encountered.
Thankfully this was not a major problem for our team, but at the regionals I attended whether or not the queuing officials checked to see if you were actually in transport configuration was basically impossible to predict. I saw robots go on and off way outside of the size limits multiple times, but also saw teams get called out for having minor protrusions that were not a safety hazard at all.
