But it prevents robots from reaching their long arm into the higher 3d space from 10ft away, that's not really "safe". I think touching and allowing 3d space of 6" height be to considered "in" seems to encompass the intent of the original rule.
I like this concept, except that no ref will have a six-inch measurement device handy. How about using some reference from the guardrail pipe?
