sorry to re-open this thread again..
I like to get some more clarification.
If the attchment is under 12 during inspection, but at the time of mission launch, it is attached to the robot. It fits within the launch area, but the robot + attachment is taller than the imaginary 12 inch line - is that still valid ?
I dont see anything specific to this in this year's rulebook. So I wanted to check before my team starts buidling an attachment that would exceed 12in during the launch.
Prior earliers (e.g. https://firstinspiresst01.blob.core.windows.net/fll/2020/city-shaper-game-guide-pdf.pdf) explicitly state this;
During the match
21. Launch sequence
READY SITUATION: Your Robot and everything it’s about to move or use is arranged as you like. It must fit completely in the Launch Area and measure no taller than 12 in. (30.5 cm).
