Re: Exceeding 72 x 72 - Penalty?

There are several "What If" scenarios where the robots will pass inspection but may violate one of the size or wedge rules. The inspectors will only look at the starting configuration to verify the dimensions and the robot meets the wedge rules. But when it comes to arms, ramps etc…, the inspectors cannot know when they will be used during the match. If there is a potential for a rules violation, the inspector may notify the teams but the robots will pass inspection.

There is no obvious answer to the original question. I would keep an eye on the Q&A board for updates.
