If you want to verify the math yourself, check out section 3.9 TOUCHPAD:
Quote:
|
Each TOUCHPAD is a 10 in. (~25 cm) polycarbonate plate mounted 4 ft. 10 in. (~147 cm) above the carpet and used to determine if a ROBOT has successfully latched on to the AIRSHIP (i.e. ready for takeoff) at the end of the MATCH. The plate has a 3 in. (~8 cm) wide by 6 in. (~15 cm) deep rectangular cut-out to aid in assembly and ROPE mounting.

Section 3.4 AIRSHIP:
Quote:
|
The hexagonal deck is 5 ft. 10˝ in. (~179 cm) wide and 3 ft. ˝ in. (~93 cm) above the FIELD carpet. The rail forms an 8 ft. 5 in. (~257 cm) wide hexagon that is 3 ft. 6˝ in. (~108 cm) above the deck. Polycarbonate walls connect the deck and rail and angle out from the deck at a 75 deg. angle. PORTS, 13 in. (~33 cm) wide by 19˝ in. (~50 cm) holes next to each LIFT, are cut in the three walls facing the ALLIANCE WALL.

And I04:
Quote:
B. be designed/configured to be at least 5 ft. 3 in. (~160 cm) long measured from the side of the ROPE’S retaining feature (per I04-E) that abuts the DAVIT fingers (L), to the farthest point on the ROPE from this feature.
C. be designed/configured to not exceed a length of 8 ft. (~244 cm) measured from the side of the ROPE’S retaining feature (per I04-E) that abuts the DAVIT fingers (L), to the farthest point on the ROPE from this feature.

Those sections of the rule book provide most of the dimensions you need to get close, but remember the field drawings really provide all of the official dimensions (Per multiple Q&A responses, such as
Q133). You can find the drawings here:

Start by looking at page 75, then figure out how that gets attached to the airship to determine total height.
