Well, last year, when I lived in the DC area, I was on team 1885. At the championship, we had a 42" plasma mounted about 9' off the ground, so it was over definitely above 10' total height, lol.

uh, that rule actually isn't new. There was an update last year (about midway through the season) that said no pit displays were to be taller than 10 feet. No one really followed it, and the mentor in charge of the display was really angry whenever he saw something "soaring" into the air...
He was also joking with me about it this year:

If your robot has unfolded to more than 10 feet tall during the match, and it goes into your pit, is that a violation?
