The game manual can be found here: https://link.vex.com/docs/vrc-turning-point/TurningPoint-GameManual

The explanation of expansion is found in <SG2>

If you need more help after reading the manual, I’m sure members of the forum will be happy to assist.

First off read the manual,
Second off here’s the answer you want…According to <G3> your robot must remain in a 18x18x18 inch cube before the match begins, however, once the match begins you may extend your robot horizontally up to 36 inches anywhere on the field but, your robot must remain within 18 inches vertically until your robot is within the expansion zone and you must return back to 18 inches vertically before you leave the expansion zone.

<SG2> Robot expansion is limited once the Match begins. As per <G3>, at the beginning of a
Match, each Robot must be smaller than a volume of 18” (457.2 mm) long by 18” (457.2 mm) wide
by 18” (45.72 mm) tall.
a. Once the Match begins, a Robot which is contacting the Expansion Zone may expand
vertically with no height limit. However, once fully outside of the Expansion Zone (i.e. no
longer contacting it), the Robot must return to a height limit of 18” (45.72 mm) tall.
b. Once the Match begins, Robots may expand, but no horizontal dimension can exceed 36”
(914.4 mm) at any point during the Match.
c. As a result of this rule, Robots may not contact High Flags.
