At the time of inspection, the team must declare in which weight/height class (as specified in Rule <R07>) the ROBOT will be configured for the competition. Once inspected for the declared weight/height class, the ROBOT must remain within the weight/height restrictions of that class for the duration of the competition event. Modifications or changes to the configuration of the ROBOT after the start of the competition that change the weight/height class of the ROBOT will not be permitted.

Once the match has started, the ROBOT may assume a PLAYING CONFIGURATION that exceeds the size dimensions specified in Rule <R07>. While outside of its HOME ZONE, a ROBOT may expand up to a maximum width of 72 inches and depth of 72 inches. While entirely inside of its own HOME ZONE, there is no limit to the maximum width or depth of the ROBOT, as long as it remains entirely within the HOME ZONE. There are no height limits for a ROBOT in its PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time after the start of the match (other than those naturally created by the ceiling height of the competition venue).

Can anyone define competition event? Rule R09 says you CANNOT exceed, while R12 says that you have to stay within 72x72 while on the playing field. Looking around the forums, it seems the general view is of the latter, but I just wanted to clear that up. When they say "competition event", do they not also mean the match?
Perhaps there is something simple I am overlooking because I seem to be the first one asking this question on these forums. Someone else should have noticed this before, right?
