I think there are two different possibilities for violation of this type here. The >15" tall upper structure of the robot and the >15" extension that grabs the bar to lift the robot.

If the extension rule stays parallel to the plane of the bumper zone, then when tilted at 90 degrees back the extensions that are grabbing the bar would have to be less than 15 inches. I wasn't there for them, but I thought this type of extension was legal in past seasons.
