Do you really all think that with an ENTIRE TEAM of FIRSTers, NOONE on 379 caught the fact that the robot can never exceed 5' in height and corrected their design/design around that?

I'm not trying to belittle Team 379 with what looks like a strong design but I too think it's too high.
I was an inspector last year and you would be amazed what some teams think is legal or didn't read the manual.
I made a copy of the picture and blew it up on my computer and took some measurements. I made one assumption and if I'm wrong I'll admit it and shut up. I assumed the velcro on the crossbeam is 1" wide.
With the velcro blown up to measure .2 inches on my comp screen I measured the bot at 15.5" tall at the main vertical upright taking into account the setback of the wheels at the floor. 15.5 divided by .2 gives you a bot that is 77.5" tall.
I hope I'm wrong.
Just my $0.02.
