This Q&A seems to outlaw a ROBOT whose upper extremities collapse into its lower ones for the purposes of going through the TUNNEL. I can't see any good reason for the GDC to say this, nor a particular rule that such a ROBOT would break?
I was curious about that response, too. I have a sneaking suspicion that the GDC misunderstood the question that was being asked, because it wasn't worded very clearly. Perhaps someone with their team's Q&A access could ask that question again more clearly?
