While I hadn't thought of this interpretation, and I agree that it will probably be clarified, is it possible that this is intentionally to prevent such 'bots? Unless you're gonna flop, you have to be at least 38" tall. (Though, if you slap the flag holder on top of your kitbot, you're already at 30".)
