You are in a box, extending 15" from your Frame Perimeter, height 4'6". At 20 seconds left in the match, the lid is taken off. The box orients with your robot (in relation to the robot's "flat floor" position).

If at any point you go through the walls or lid of the box, the penalty flags fly.
I realized what he meant a little bit later. We were on the same page, but I had assumed he was talking about not being able to reach 15 inches vertically above the robot. It was a misunderstanding on my part.
