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!

If I am taking this question right.... As long as that part doesn't extend past 15 during telop you should be good. Even if it has the potential to go past 15 inches to climb during the end game I don't see anything wrong with it.
