As for should they be allowed to rectify it that's much more of a grey area rule and seeing how the event was running late they made a call not to allow the extended time.
IMO a robot should never exceed 78" as part of its design and should not need to have the benefit of alteration on the field to be under 78". That rule has been there since DAY 1...now if High Rollers got smashed and bent out of shape the prior match then I would agree allow the time but that did not happen and they were out of their usual auto score everything spot....adding scrutiny from new eyes.
I have no issue with the ruling and High Rollers will still get into Worlds somehow they are an amazing robot/team and always tough.
In the end 78" is 78" and over that can trigger a disable...live with it. Robonaghts/Kryptonight alliance also deserved the Win they were amazing too and also had disabled bots too to get there.
