<R12> Once the match has started, the ROBOT may assume a PLAYING CONFIGURATION that
exceeds the size dimensions specified in Rule <R07>. While outside of its HOME ZONE, a
ROBOT may expand up to a maximum width of 72 inches and depth of 72 inches. While
entirely inside of its own HOME ZONE, there is no limit to the maximum width or depth of
the ROBOT, as long as it remains entirely within the HOME ZONE. There are no height
limits for a ROBOT in its PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time after the start of the
match (other than those naturally created by the ceiling height of the competition venue).

If the ramp bot exceeds the 72 inch foot print while outside the end zone, then it is in violation of <R12>. However, none of the "8.3.2 Robot Physical Rules" explain the penality for a violation. I would assume it should be a DQ. The question remains whether the alliance can get points for mounting a robot that is in violation of the Robot Physical Rules.
