Moon Rocks above 60 inches

[FRC1466]

Team 378 asked
“Can the balls be higher than the 60" limit. For example, if you have a hopper, can the balls in the hopper be above 60".”

The reply
“No, per the statement quoted from Rule <R16>, the ROBOT may not extend beyond any of the dimensions specified in Rule <R11>.”

didn’t answer the question. It is understood that the robot can’t exceed 60” but I would still like an answer to the question about the moon rocks in a hopper sticking out beyond the 60” plane.

If the hopper exceeds the 60", illegal.

If only the moon rocks exceed the 60", legal.
