The rules say that when the robot is in the home zone, it can be any size it wants as long as it remains in the home zone. So you could make a 26' horizontal arm that entirely blocks off the opposin teams 9 ringers, which would seriously deter their point scoring ability, being limited to half their ringers.

Edit: See rule R12
