In looking at the 12" x12" x 12" volume requirement for the mini bot. Is this requirement a starting value "at deployment" or an absolute value "during the whole climb". Can the mini bot exceed this size once deployed?

Mini Bot Volume
The Volume of teh mini bot is 12"x12"x12". Is that at deployment or all through the climb. Can a minibot expand outside this volume once the climbing starts?

Re: Mini Bot Config
Per Rule R91, the MINIBOT may never exceed the volume defined at any time during the MATCH.

Intrepretation of Rule G41
My students had a question concerning rule G41. Here is their inquiry:
We were wondering if it would be allowed for a robot to begin in a 12"x12"x12" cube and then expand outside of these dimensions. After doing so, it would then reduce back into the 12"x12"x12" cube. Is this ok, or does the rule state that you cannot at all leave that cube?
I have not had a chance to look and see if this question has been asked by other teams, so if it has, I would appreciate being directed to that information. Thank you for your time.

Minibot Size
The starting configuration of the minibot is 12"x12"x12" maximum. Does the minibot have to stay within the starting confines or can it extend beyond them after deployment?

Minibot Exact Size
The envelope for the minibot is 12"x12"x12", must the minibot always remain at this size, or are we allowed to shape it as we see fit?
- such as 12"x6"x10"

Per Rule R91, the MINIBOT may never exceed the volume defined at any time during the MATCH. The MINIBOT must always remain in a 12" x 12" x 12" box.

MINIBOT dimensions
Hello,
We are considering a design for a MINIBOT and deployment platform. The MINIBOT, before deployment would be approximately 16" wide. Obviously this does not fit in the constraints of its size, but this is an unnatural position for the MINIBOT. It is being stretched on the platform beyond its natural 10.75" width. Our question is whether or not this is legal because the robot will fit within the 12"x12"x12" cube at all times other than when it is on the deployment platform. Thanks for your time!
