Re: <R12>

I guess the big problem is with and arm while its lifting a ringer from the ground robot will normaly break that 72" plane for a brief amount of time and then return to within the 72" rule. To stay within the rule your arm would have to retract the arm back in towards the robot before extending out again. I think the intention of the rule is to stop huge robots roaming around the field and not to limit arm design. But, thats question I'm trying to find out.
