You are the second one to bring this up so I went and found the 2006 rule.

The shooter mechanism must remain within the original starting dimensions of 28 in (711 mm) by 38 in (965 mm) by 60 in (1,524 mm) tall.

AND

No part of the robot may ever extend more than 60 in (1,524 mm) above the floor. If a robot is more than 60 in (1,524 mm) high, and it shoots a ball or blocks a ball from being shot, a 5 point penalty per ball will be assessed.

so you still had outside the 28x38 with anything except a shooting device. I would be ok with a rule like this.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
