Your robot needs to go all the way to the floor. Otherwise, it will fall down.
Actually, it depends. Are you asking "how much ground clearance should the robot have to be able to compete effectively?" or "how much ground clearance is required by the rules?" If it is the former, then I am sure you will get many different answers on this forum. Most of them will be based on the particulars of other teams designs, and are likely not to be applicable to your situation unless your robot design is strikingly similar. If it is the latter, then that is a question that is best asked on the FIRST Q&A for an official answer.
