You've got a point about asking FIRST's official Q&A... but it's not up yet. Looks like we'll have to wait until we can get an authoritative answer.
Hopefully they open up the floodgates soon. This matter's pretty pressing.
Thanks anyways.
Also, we weren't talking about pushing the hitch out of the robot's dimensions, but pulling it in. I drew up a really crappy, not to scale at all, and an "it wouldn't fit within the dimensions for FIRST" mspaint model of what we're asking if we can do:

Not as extreme (that pic's just a demonstration so we don't give away too much
), but the same idea -- recessing the trailer hitch.
