They taped the cylinder because they didn't have time to reprogram it to start out the match with the cylinder fully extended...I think.

Here is what I understand to be the case (if someone from 832 can comment or correct, go ahead).
They added a panel at ~60" high to play defense. It was finished as the timer went off. They had to place the bot on the field immediately. Since there was no time remaining, they were not allowed to pre-charge their pneumatic system. Without air pressure, their shooter could not be elevated. Since it was not elevated, it stuck out beyond the frame perimeter.
And the only thing that can really measure that is when you look a kid in the eye, say "We've got a problem..." and you see them smiling, "Bring it on." - dtengineering [more]
