Karen,

You have to think of the base as being an imaginary box that has a ceiling of 16".  The robot and everything attached to it cannot be outside of the base are shown on the mat NOR can it extend greater than 16" in the air, from the base of the mat.

If you go to the FLL site, click on the game and then the rules tab, you can see this specific rule re the base.

Hope this helps.

When the robot is in base to start, must all its parts be in base, or can it
have a long arm sticking out of the base area (in the air)?  Couldn't find
any answer to this.

Yes, you are correct.  The robot may perform any allowable action once it
has been Started and is 
Active, even if it has not left base yet.  So, whether in Base or not, an
active robot may turn, push 
something, deploy an attachment, etc. etc.
