Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2025-2026: Push Back

<SG3> a states: "No part of the Robot may exceed an overall height of 22" at any point during the Match (must always be able to fit within a hypothetical 22" x 22" x 22" cubic sizing box)."

Is the "overall height" with reference to the Floor or to the lowest point on the Robot? Also, does it rotate with the Robot? I.e., does the hypothetical cube need to remain in contact with the Floor, and can it rotate such that the bottom plane isn't parallel with the Floor?

The confusion behind this rule comes from the change in Figure SC4-2 between Game Manuals V0.1 (left image) and V0.2 (right image). Some teams think that the Figure was updated because "overall height" is with reference to the field tiles. However, clause <SG3b> which specifies this was deleted in the in Game Manual V0.2. Figure SC4-2 from Game Manual V0.2 also has the Robots on an angle suggesting that the hypothetical cube rotates with the Robot.
