R105 Robot extension limit. Robots may not extend more than 48 in. (~121 cm) beyond their Frame Perimeter.
Figure 9‑2 Frame Perimeter extension
Teams should expect to have to demonstrate a Robots ability to constrain itself per above during inspection. Constraints may be implemented with either hardware or software.
See Section 7 Game Rules: ROBOTS for height and extension restrictions for various areas of the Field.

Rule G107
G107 Dont overextend yourself. ROBOTS may not extend beyond
their FRAME PERIMETER in more than 48 in. (~122 cm). MOMENTARY and
inconsequential extensions beyond 48 in. (~122 cm) are an exception to this
rule.
Rule R101
R101
*Frame Perimeter must be fixed. The Robot
(excluding Bumpers) must have a Frame Perimeter, contained within the Bumper Zone and established while in the Robots Starting
Configuration, that is comprised of fixed,
non-articulated structural elements of the Robot.
Minor protrusions no greater than ¼ in. (~6 mm) such as bolt heads, fastener
ends, weld beads, and rivets are not considered part of the Frame Perimeter.
Rule R102
R102
*Starting Configuration no overhang. In
the Starting Configuration (the physical configuration in which a Robot starts a Match),
no part of the Robot shall extend outside the
vertical projection of the Frame Perimeter,
with the exception of its Bumpers and minor
protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, cable ties, etc.
Rule I105
I105
*Dont exploit re-inspection. Teams may not use the re-inspection process in I104 to circumvent the weight limit in I103.
