I hope to have a more definite minibot constructed soon. It may well be smaller or shorter than 12" in one or more dimensions. At that point my question will be "can I extend to the 12-inch limit in every direction during the end game?" Right now I'm guessing that extending upward is the equivalent of the sprinter leaning into the tape at the finish line. Without a camera at the top of the pole, it will be hard to gauge if a minibot goes to 13,14, 15 inches for a quarter second. Particularly if it is an open-framed affair of some complexity.
