Question about Outriggers

Would outriggers used to stable the robot in front of a goal be illegal or is there no restraints on outriggers?

They are legal as long as they do not use one of the materials it lists that you may not use to brace the robot or as traction devices.

Just to be clear, size restrictions are only in force until the match begins. After the match begins you could extend to the entire width of the playing field if you really wanted to. I'm not sure why anyone would want to, but they could.

In this case for the use mentioned, stabilization, it would be fine as long as they are not used to occupy multiple loading zones at one time.
