During the match. If I have a 12" cube, and I take the top cover off by a hinge (disregarding legality of that for a moment--bear with me), and that top cover is 6" thick, I now have a 12" by 24" by 6" block. I'm in the pits, or accessing the NXT before the match (or after the match) to turn it on or off. Am I illegal?

Spoiler for answer:
No. I do have to make certain that that cover can't come loose during a match, though.


If, at match end + 30 seconds or so, a minibot dropped a rope to about the 6' mark, making it easy to grab, I think it would be legal, because it's after the match. However, that rope/cord/string would have to be inside the cube the entire match.

I like the idea, but I'd probably suggest asking Q&A about this.
