Interesting. R8 seems to clearly disallow any extension above 60" but G16 makes it appear that it's OK at certain times. However, I think the last sentence of G16 reveals the intent: that if your robot is tilted (because of climbing the ramp, or if it's falling over) then it is not in a stable configuration and the 60" rule does not apply. It doesn't seem to me like it was meant for allowing items on the robot that are designed to be above 60" temporarily, but that's just my interpretation. As always, the GDC interpretation is the only one that matters
