Or perhaps it will be a situation where you will only be checked in detail if it appears to the refs that you might be close to exceeding the expanded size limits... in which case, I suspect, you would not be allowed to compete until you had modified the robot in such a way that it could no longer exceed the 72" limit.
But that is probably a good question for the GDC on the FIRST Forums.

The problem with this is that there are some cases (specifically, when you are in the home zone) where you can exceed 72x72. Just because you exceed those dimensions during inspection doesn't mean that you will do so when it's illegal. That's what makes this rule somewhat harder to enforce than, say, the ball speed limit from last year.
