I'm sure they know what they're doing and have read the rules - they're a long standing veteran team who's built high-quality robots for years, who publicly posted a full cad of their robot
in week 4.
You don't think it's more likely that you have an inaccurate perception of the robot's dimensions?
It's not against the rules to lower the arm as long as the robot still fits within the volume with the arm lowered (i.e. their chassis is shorter to compensate). This is clearly the case here. If the arm doesn't go past the bumpers then it's legal for it to be lowered even at max dimensions.
