Re: Robot Extension Limitations

Again, I see no exceptions for the robot extension during the end game. The only exception granted is to the height limitation (which is ordinarily 54 inches). Also note the rules for the STARTING CONFIGURATION (R4) which says that you may not extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER - i.e. draw a box infinitely high with the FRAME PERIMETER and you may not break that plane with any part of your robot.
