Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?

No, robots are always bound by one of two volume limitations, the NORMAL CONFIGURATION or the FINALE CONFIGURATION.

469 uses <G30-c> to expand to the FINALE CONFIGURATION before the FINALE

Quote:
<G30> ROBOT Volume – During a MATCH, no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER, except as follows:
...
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.
