Robot expansion is limited. Robots may not expand beyond the 23” x 73” horizontal or 15” vertical starting size limits at any time during a Match. The 15” height limit is a “virtual ceiling,” meaning that no part of a Robot may exceed 15” above the Floor, regardless of Robot orientation. Violation Notes: It is expected that momentary Minor Violations may occur, such as when a Robot drives over the VEX IQ beams that mark the Starting Zones. These will likely only result in a verbal warning and will not be recorded as Violations if no gameplay advantage occurs.
Significant Q&As: 2268 - The Robot can change shapes & orientations as long as it would fit in a 23”x73”x15” box at every point in the Match 2287 - There is no rule against touching the outer field wall after a match has started
