Re: How would you have built your team's robot differently if the robot could expand?
You would definitely have seen people covering the trailers, which would have killed the game. If, however, we assume they only allow you to expand forward and to the side (I.E. no expanding backwards over your own trailer) you probably would have seen very similar designs but that incorporated deployable chutes to extend directly over the opponents trailer and deployable arms to better collect balls. I don't see why anyone would be worried about breaking things. We've never had big issues with it, once we designed properly.
