I guess I disagree. This seemed really obvious to me, but it's possible I'm wrong.

The rules say you must start in a 28 x 38 x 60 box.

The rules say that can expand to a 60 x 60 x 60 box.

Why would they have this rule if they didn't intend to constrain this mechanism to the original robot footprint? If it doesn't mean to contrain the mechanism as the pictures show, isn't this a redundant rule on a specfic component?
