Chris, could you elaborate or post the rule that applies please? I don't remember reading a "2 inch" rule in the manual.

You can extend outside the frame perimeter below the bumper zone up to the bumper perimeter for up to 2 seconds then you must come back in the frame perimeter for 2 seconds before extending out again.

<G30> ROBOT Volume – During a MATCH, no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER, except as follows:
a. BALL Interaction Volume – Solely for the purposes of interacting with a BALL, MECHANISMS that are below the BUMPER ZONE may extend up to the BUMPER PERIMETER, for a period not exceeding two seconds. After returning inside the FRAMER PERIMETER, such MECHANISMS are not permitted to re-extend beyond the FRAME PERIMETER for at least two seconds.
