80" is maximum size in the game. If your robot never extends beyond 80" in the game (through hard stops, programming, design, or some combination of the three), you will not be penalized. Note that it is possible to have robot configurations such that you are larger than 80". It is in your best interest to make sure that the robot cannot do that when powered on.

Also note that the 80" includes bumpers.
