You should probably check on this...
I believe the issue is that you can extend outside the frame but you cannot do it again until 2 seconds have elapsed... Unless you have a really slow moving kicker it would appear the you extend outside your frame more than once every 2 seconds.

Rule <R16>. states that no part of your robot can extend beyond the vertical projection of your frame perimeter during the match except as allowed in <G30>

The pertinent part of <G30> is: 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 FRAME PERIMETER, such MECHANISMS are not permitted to re-extend beyond the FRAME PERIMETER for at least 2 seconds.

If you have a flapper... and it extends beyond the FRAME PERIMETER.. it can't go out again for another 2 seconds...

I love your design and I am just trying to make sure you don't run into something in inspection that could set you back

good luck

looks like a great machine!!
