Are pieces allowed to extend over the wall to get closer to the goal? I have not seen anything definitive in the rules. Some of my students are asking if the shooter is allowed to extend over the wall.
Thank you
Yes. As long as it meets the size requirements at all times.
It can not touch to goal, or the floor, but it can reach over them.
Although the rules do not specifically say that teams can reach over the fence the rules for “Size” and “Fouls” are clear. The size requirements must be maintained regardless of the robot configuration (assuming the drive wheels are touching the floor) and a robot cannot touch the goal or the scoring zone floor.
