20 inch extension?
 
In the rules where it says that the robot cannot extend past 20 inches beyond the frame perimeter, does this mean that the robot cannot extend a *total* 20 inches or that each extension cannot exceed 20 inches?

Thanks!

Each extension cannot be longer than 20". There is no limit on how many extensions your robot may have.

Look at the picture that accompanies the rule. As long as no part of your robot extends outside the dashed line, you are not violating the rule*.

*Assuming you start with your entire robot inside the frame perimeter.

Thanks so much! We had some differing interpretations of this rule and wanted to get some third party opinions
