It's a different story if you intentionally deploy and come out of the zone.
At the St. Louis Regional I thought that we called all of the bots exceeding 72" outside of the home zone, but evidently we missed at least one (I was one of the refs). The way it was called in St. Louis was if you exceeded the 72" outside of the home zone you were accessed a 10 pt penalty and were asked by the referees to try to get back to your home zone. After the regional was over, we discovered that asking them to return to the home zone was needed. There weren't any matches where we felt that a robot great than 72" had a drastic impact on the outcome of the game so it wasn't disabled/DQed.

At the GLR robotics weren't called for being greater than the 72" outside of the home zone as Karthik pointed out.

At the Detroit Regional referees seemed to make the right calls for robots being greater than 72" outside of the home zone and for robotics being greater than 72" that went in and out of the home zone repeatedly.

Has there been any regionals where robots have been disabled/DQed for being outside of the 72" while outside of the home zone during a match? Either because the referees thought that was still the rule as it was originally or because they thought that it provided an unfair advantage by being greater than the 72", instead of just the 10 pt penalty.
