When exactly did "they" go over 80 inches? Please clarify.

Yes, they are over 80 inches.

If a robot is CAPABLE of exceeding 80 inches, then the Refs DO need to worry about it. However if the robot is NOT CAPABLE of exceeding 80 inches no matter what, then the Refs do NOT need to worry about watching that robot for violations.

Now do you understand why some robots are marked and others are not? (As Russ Beavis explained in the second post.)

They still need to check and see if a team has a sticker, and if they do they need to watch them. I understand the stickers, but I think it could have been something easily taken off the refs job. Many people are complaining about missed calls, in fact that is what this thread was about. The less things the refs need to pay attention to, the easier their jobs are.
