Can somebody explain the expansion rules please and thank you.
The simplest way I can explain it is for purposes of wall stakes you can only expand to a 30in vert, and for climb you can only take it one rung at a time. For more in depth there is someone out here who can phrase it better but this is a rough break down, you will want to look into it more though.
What specific question(s) about the rule do you have? While the rule is unusual compared to other seaons, there are a number of examples and illustrations provided in the Game Manual that explain it - V5RC High Stakes Game Manual - VEX Robotics
What do you not understand? The horizontal expansion rules are a bit confusing, but the vertical expansion rules are fairly straightforward and are accompanied by a diagram. Can you state what you don’t understand?
Horizontal expansion is covered in SG2, three pages of the manual with multiple diagrams.
Vertical expansion is covered in SG3, also thoroughly defined with diagrams.
Please read the manual and ask a specific question if you are still confused.
This document gives a pretty comprehensive explanation.
Our strategy is: we put gear racks on the corners of the drive train so that we can climb at least to the second bar. Thank you!
Whats a rung? Ring? Just wondering.
Rung = bar
(climbing ladder/tower/whatever big thing in the middle)
