G17 also says quite clearly you cannot exceed 4ft 6in until 20 seconds remain. That means any extension vertically outside of that would be in violation of that rule. It says nothing about extending out the 2D plane around the robot, so the 15 inch extension rule applies there.

I haven't actually done the math on it but from the videos I've seen released it looks possible the issue teams have been hitting is rotating frame perimeters.
