c. TOWER Contact ROBOT Volume - During a MATCH, ROBOTS in contact with their ALLIANCE TOWER may extend beyond their NORMAL CONFIGURATION volume but may not exceed the FINALE CONFIGURATION maximum volume.
That rule prohibits extending outside the VERTICAL PROJECTION of the frame perimeter. In other words, if you extend the frame perimeter up towards the ceiling to make an open box, no part of the robot can extend beyond it. The only thing it says about height is that the robot cannot extend beyond 90 inches while in contact with the tower.
