Re: Important 80 inches!!!
During inspection the inspectors check to see if it is possible for the robot to exceed the 80" horizontal dimension mentioned in <R16>. The purpose of this sticker is to alert the referees to keep an eye on this robot during the match.
If the robot exceeds 80" during the match it is assessed a 10 pt. penalty. Many robots (multi-jointed arms, multiple independent moving parts) have the physical capability to violate <R16> (warranting a sticker) but have software in place preventing the offending configuration.
A robot can pass inspection despite being able to exceed 80" and enforcement of this rule is up to the referees.
