Re: Ramps extending outside of the home zone
At NYC we flagged the penalty if any portion of the base of the robot exceeded the 72" limit outside the home zone. We did count being partially in the home zone as a penalty, however we didn't flag robots whose arms or other parts exceeded the limit but weren't resting on the ground past the line as that would be very hard to judge in the heat of the moment. It was a rather hard rule to judge, however most of the times we called it the robots were significantly outside the home zone.
