You are allowed to expand up to FINALE CONFIGURATION during the last 20 seconds, or at any time during the match if the expanding robot is in contact with the TOWER.
Watch out for the "Raul Rule" though. In Rack-n-Roll, you got bonus points at the end of the game for being lifted off the field on an alliance robot. Wildstang had a match with two non-functioning robots as their alliance partners. Their alliance strategy was to stack the two non-moving bots from the beginning of the match to the end, and 111 ran around the field alone. Despite a Q&A ruling earlier that this was a legal strategy, the GDC reversed their decision after this event, citing that the stacked robots were dangerous. If a stack of non-moving robots was dangerous, I'd guess they'd think it even more dangerous if you intended to move around with another robot on your back.
