2015 New/Changed ROBOT Rules

[TheHolyHades1]

If I am reading the rules right, we seem to be able to build a robot which extends to any size/shape during gameplay, provided that it stays within safety rules and is under the 78" height limit, and that it packs down to the required size when transporting?

Yes. You are reading that right.

I would call out R3 (or the associated rule) as specifically stating that there are no length and width restrictions, only a height restriction.

Additionally, it should be able to transform between the transportation configuration and match configuration in less than 60 seconds.
