The robot looks great, my team used the same concept for VEX Gateway this year and it worked great. I just wanted to make sure that you guys had looked into rule R02:

[R02]
The Robot must satisfy the following size constraints:

a.horizontal dimensions must not exceed 28 by 38 in.,
b.the absolute height must not exceed 84 in.,
c.the height of the Robot at the start of the match must not exceed 60 in.,
d.any appendage may not extend more than 14 in. beyond the frame perimeter, and
e.no other part of the Robot may extend beyond the vertical projection of the Frame Perimeter (with the exception of minor protrusions permitted per [R01-2]).


Specifically, d and e. When your arm is going up, it is going way out of the 14" allowed from the perimeter.

It looks less than a foot outside the perimeter.

When it's halfway up, it would be a lot more than a foot.

Dont see how since it looks to lift vertically. The piece doesnt move horizontally so it would be the same amount outside the entire way up.

Correct.
The ball holder is lifted vertically, and then turned to almost 90 degrees. Therefore, it will not violate R02, and will only be something like 13'' outside the frame perimeter.
but thx for your concern

Alright, got it! Sorry, I thought it swung around the top part of the frame -- glad to see that it doesnt
