Re: Exceeding 72 x 72 - Penalty?

If the result is a DQ, then "wide body" robots might want to stay in the home zone for the entire match!
Is this posted there or not? I couldn't find it... and it's a question that needs to be asked...

At the same time, a clearer definition of "PLAYING CONFIGURATION" needs to be requested as well. Is it a different playing configuration at every point in the movement of an arm that might exceed the 72" square?

If you're using a narrow arm that's centered on your robot and gets penalized, could you argue that by rotating the square 45º, your robot fits within THAT square?
