Some teams use hinged tracking wheels on their robots that allow the wheel to constantly be in contact with the field tiles. In some cases when a robot is lifted, these tracking wheels will drop down since there is nothing holding them in place and may even be using elastics or some other mechanism to create a downward force to ensure field tile contact.
G4 specifies that a robot "must be smaller than a volume of 18” (457.2 mm) long by 18” (457.2 mm) wide by 18” (457.2 mm) tall" and not using field elements to maintain starting size.
Assuming a team does not have a mechanism in place to keep their tracking wheels from dropping down before the start of a match when not in contact with the field tiles would this be considered a violation of G4 and possibly R5 if the robot becomes out of starting size thus either requiring the robot be removed from the field prior to the start of a match or not pass inspection to begin with?
