Also the intention of the 60" while on d-fence was that you weren't blocking shots, so if you dont block any shots because of your stinger then they should just not call the penalty.
The Q&A makes this answer very clear:

Q. Please define "tall" verses "height" specified in ROBOT R02. Is "height" an absolute measurement from the carpeted floor of the arena whereas "tall" references the robot's height when only on the carpeted surface? Example: A 60" tall robot balanced on top of a 12" bridge is 72" in height. FRC1985 2012-01-12
A. The vertical measurement is always in relation to the Robot.
Regardless of the "spirit" of the rule, a rule means what it says. Until the GDC says otherwise, the 60" restriction stays.
