After a comb-through closest situation I could find to a <R11> penalty would be in this picture

Here a robot swings its arm to launch a ball and the arm swings outside it's base area. However as you can see throughout the movie this robot has a square base meaning that it left extra room along its front to allow for this motion.

Actually, that is not quite correct. The arm on the robot in question in the animation never extends beyond the vertical projection of the Bumper Perimeter Polygon of the robot. There is a wrist on the arm that allows the hand to rotate up, thereby shortening the effective total tip length of the arm as it swings through the vertical arc. The base of the robot is also not square - it extends to the permitted 28 x 38 inches. I am quite certain of this.
