Thanks for any help or advice!

OK. despite what the people have said above, the answer is yes as long as:
1> your robot maintains contact with the goalie area carpet and
2> the contact is in the bumper zone.
Say you had a 30" long robot and you extended a 20" extension both forward and backward. As long as the back one maintained contact with the goalie carpet and the front one contacted the other robot in the bumper zone, you would be legal.
