Ball part of robot height limit?

We're wondering if, while holding it, the ball can be above the 5 foot limit. We can't find any rule that addresses this.

Re: Ball part of robot height limit?

I don't think it would be against the rules as long as the robot itself is under 5ft.

I can't remember any rules making that illegal

The ball is not part of the ROBOT and therefore not considered part of the height limit.

Re: Ball part of robot height limit?

I agree the ball is not part of the 5 foot robot, however, if the ball made the height more than 5'2" you won't be able to fit under the truss.
