no that isnt what i mean at all. i mean having the wheels on the bottom but having it 5'tall at the beginning but after the match starts sort of spreading out so instead of being 28*38*60 you are 60*60*36 or something. using a motor or pneumatics mechanism to shove the top out.

actually it is sort of falling inside the robot and spreading out without any wheels ever leaving the ground.

just think of jelly. it is tall then when it sits it spreads out into a shorter but wider shape

edit: none of the ones extending out are vertical at the beginning. all the sides that are on the outside when extended are internal at the beginning.

sounds sort of like turning your robot inside out and flattening it like a pancake.
