Hi Jacky,
 
We had also followed the same interpretation in the design of the robots, however we faced some difficulties in German Open as we had been asked to stretch the knees for the measurement.
 
Best regards,
Hamid.

Hello Hamid, 



Maybe no more, because we have decided to make the robot shorter. However it is not stated clearly in the rules whether "standing upright" means that the robot should be measured as normally standing or stretched to its maximum height?

If your question refers to Section 4.1.1 of the rule book
where posture of the robot to determine H_top and H_com is described
as "standing upright" then it means standing in upright posture like a human.

This means that the knee joints are streched out and not bended.
But the robot does not need to try to stretch _maximally_ in height,
e.g. by performing difficult balancing on toes.

It is the posture I would expect if you ask a human "would you please stand upright that we can measure your height (H_top)?". 


No.

The definition of upright posture has always been "the posture of your robot during its normal walking gait" to determine the centre of mass.

CU,
