Re: Fitting in the batter to scale?

Not from a direct rules standpoint, but perhaps from a practical standpoint. If you can't get at least part of your robot in the batter, it would be difficult (though not impossible if you can tilt toward the tower) to pull up on a rung without going outside of the 15" extension limit on the frame perimeter. The only load-bearing surfaces of the tower are the batter and the rung.
