It did, but not in that configuration. There were certain aspects of that robot that were very, very into a gray area that didn't really exist; some retooling would have probably made it legal in the field blockade configuration. The robot was retooled a bit into a non-blocking configuration.

I can't think of any other massive-expansion robots; you have to look prior to 2006 for them. Now, height of the robot is another story...
