<R11> At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the orthogonal dimensions
listed below:
----------------------------------------------------
|Dimension 1 | Dimension 2 | Dimension 3 | Maximum |
|(Horizontal) | (Horizontal) | (Vertical) | Weight|
----------------------------------------------------
|28 Inches | 38 Inches | 60 Inches | 120 Pounds|
|(71.12 cm) | (96.52 cm) | (152.40 cm) | (54.43 Kg) |
----------------------------------------------------
A. Exception: solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the weight and
volume limitations, these items are NOT considered part of the ROBOT and are NOT
included in the weight and volume assessment:
• The 12V battery and its associated half of the Anderson cable quick
connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 inches of cable per leg, the
associated cable lugs, connecting bolts, and insulating electrical tape),
• BUMPER assemblies that are in compliance with Rule <R08>,
• The TRAILER,
• The Trailer Hitch (as defined in Rule <R18>),
• The OPERATOR CONSOLE.

This is what I believe the robot must comply with. During Finger Lakes Regional I was told during practice matches that if I didn't tuck the battery cable back in so that it doesn't go past the start of the bumper that I would be disqualified, given a yellow card that would turn into a red card before the first 30 seconds was up. So I would keep all dimension within the original constraints also to be 100% sure I think you should review
