That's how to get a robot half feet into a choke point, immediately get stuck for half an hour surrounded by walls and confused people, until developer on an emergency Slack call along facility managers and company CTO verifies and communicates a likely-safe state of robot and surrounding equipment to field operators and a go is given to pull the thing out of the elevator.

wouldn't people prefer choking robots rather than overly confident and bumping ones ?
Probably not if they're sticking 18" into the only elevator on the floor.
This is so detailed, are you speaking from experience perhaps?
