Rules G18 and R3 state: "ROBOTS may not extend greater than 15 in. beyond the FRAME PERIMETER. Violation: FOUL"
My team was curious if this applied to the potential extension of parts, or just what extends in a match. For example, if we were to have an arm that manipulates obstacles during a match and telescopes up at the end to scale the castle (not our exact thoughts, just theoretical), it could extend 15 inches beyond the perimeter during the match, but won't. Would this pass inspection?

Thanks in advance for your help!
