Did you see HOT's bot? There is a lot space if you design to fall over at the begining of a match. I doubt the batons will be 60 inches long. If they are, an open ended toothpick thing like a keyed shaft and a expandable storage tank is all you need. An expandable chassis is sort of overkill, but not as hard as it sounds. A few pneumatic cylinders, maybe some telescoping stuff, a omni drive, and you're golden. Length and width adjustable, although you'd need a lot of slack in the wiring.
