Configuration Question

[dippindots391]

We're a rookie team from Connecticut and we've gotten into a dispute over the starting configurations of the robot.

We know that the starting configuration is 28" x 38" x 60" but we were wondering if these were just the configurations for shipping or if at the start of every game, the robot must be within these configurations.

We are planning to ship the robot by folding the claw on our arm back so that it fits in the box, but when the robot is holding the ubertube, our CADers have noticed that the claw would stick out of the starting configurations given.

Any clarification would help, thanks
