Can somebody help me to understand this Q&A response? The question is certainly a little unclear, but the way I read it, I'd be inclined to believe it's legal. Since the GDC opted to be curt in their reply, and didn't explain what rule the asker's design would violate, I don't know how they read the question, and consequently I don't know what they're ruling as illegal. Any guesses?

You aren't the first one. I believe the key words are "expand and retract, within frame configuration, [to fit] through the tunnel". This indicates an articulated or expanding frame of some form, which is illegal under <R11>.

The question was also poorly worded, so I'm not surprised that it got such a short answer. I would also not be surprised to have clarification requested within a day or so on Q&A.
