Tall blocking robot? Tall blocking robot with a blocker that leans 15" outside their frame perimeter? It's dangerous depending on where they're shooting from. If they can drive forward and hit you while still in the outerworks, you can get penalties. Or maybe keep them from getting to the outerworks with a ball in the first place.

No.

G17 - ROBOT height, as measured when it’s resting normally on a flat floor, may not exceed 4 ft. 6 in. during the MATCH, except during the final twenty (20) seconds of TELEOP where there is no height limit when a ROBOT is fully contained by the opponent’s COURTYARD.
