This period of time is about 10 seconds. In each case at IRI when this would happen, the team ended up disabling if they were outside of the 80" rule and they could not get back up. There were a couple of robots who were very close to the 80" rule when they normally operated their robots, but none were over the boundary during normal play.

OK but you can't tell me that by looking at this picture that they are not over 80"
