It's also worth mentioning that most of the "extending outside the 15" perimeter" Issues will be dealt with during inspection. The only time I've ever seen it called on the field in prior years is when a robot is "flailing" something obviously outside the frame. These +/- a few inches calls during scaling won't be made by the referee crew because it's not realistic for them to see when a robot is 16" outside of it's frame for a split second during a fast climb.
This is why I expected a change to G18 during scaling. Every one said it's supposed to be hard and things like that but for me it came down to can it be called easily be the referee and/or checked during inspection. The answer to both of these questions is no. And rules you cannot enforce should not be rules.
