Nowhere can we find a rule that says we cannot have actuators that expand from starting configuration but remain inside the frame perimeter and do not exceed the normal configuration as defined per rule R-10. Can you clarify please? |

The answer to the question referenced was "No" because we interpreted the question as asking about expanding and contracting in the horizontal plane, which is prohibited.
