Yeah, we don't have a good angle to see it. It just seems to be way in front of the bot as its moving up in the arc. Another factor is the width of the grabber around the ball, which could add a few inches to the maximum size. I was just issuing a friendly warning, in case they had forgotten to consider it.
I also presume that after they get the rest of the guts put in, they won't have to have 2-3 people around the bot to balance it!
