From the 1/13/14 game update:
Quote:
While there is no corresponding change to the Game Manual, the LRI’s also wanted to make sure that all teams are aware that ROBOTs must fit in, and be transported in, a single
TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION volume at the event. This doesn’t mean the exact configuration of the robot within that volume must be the same every time, but that every time
a team is moving their robot as required under T6, they must do so using only one contiguous volume of the size and orientation specified

I am not sure how rigorously this will be enforced, but. This means if you have detachable arms or a mast, you cannot have some one carry a piece separate from the robot. It will all have to be in the robot transport volume. Safe transport will mean designing the robot so the detached pieces are not precariously crammed into the transport volume. It will make for some interesting maneuvers if it is required from the field to the cart.
