I don't mean to shoot down your quiz here, but I have some comments to make.

This is certainly nice to know, especially since you are a rookie team so I assume your students have little FRC experience, but it doesn't quite fit in if you're strictly looking to test on rules. If it applies to your team, it wouldn't hurt to leave it in if you choose.

You may want to specify that this entails climbing the rope and activating the touchpad.

To be specific, your robot can expand at any time, as long as it does not expand outside of whatever configuration you passed inspection to be within.

“We are the best team, so much better than any other robotics team and we are going to crush everyone.”
_____________ (Red Card)

This may not be the most GP thing to say, but simply saying it out loud would likely not earn a red card. If you were to do so in such a way deemed uncivil and egregious/repeated toward other teams or people, that is a different story.
----------------------------
That being said, I am not trying to tell you your quiz is bad and that you should not use it. I simply mean to clarify some of the rules and make sure the quiz can be effective.
