Re: Legality of a Strategy/Bot Concept
Firstly, it's geometrically impossible to scale without going outside of your height / frame perimeter restrictions.

Secondly, I am positive that you are not allowed to block the low goal intentionally with your fifteen inch extensions, I'm pretty sure that there is a same rule for high goals (though I wouldn't doubt it if it was never implemented for high goals since, well, it's impossible!

Edit: the proposed spring idea is not only near impossible to do but is also extremely dangerous and would probably net you a failed Inspection for safety reasons
