So from what I understand there has been an expansion limit in NBN and every game after Skyrise, there might have been more. I personally find this rule and other rules geared to destroy defensive tactics ridiculous, but I’m happy to discuss it, aswell as, getting opinions from people who competed w…

I like the expansion limit because it forces more creative engineering. For example, teams had to go to the EZ to deploy their ram, but my unique design allowed me to flip it up anywhere. That gave me a theoretical advantage. (But I rarely used it.) However, I agree that some games-many games-are b…

I propose a 16.97’ expansion limit XD

I was under the impression that the biggest design the horizontal expansion zone limit impacted was tetherbots, with two mostly independent segments joined by a power and communication cable. There was also a robot during Clean Sweep that deployed a wall on the opponent’s side of the wall that their…

Tetherbots and wallbots are both impacted significantly by the expansion limit. Both I which I do not deem to be over powered.

I’d just like to see one of those robots that’s actually many robots all tethered together… I recall seeing one robot in toss up that deployed at least 5 tendrils with robots on them and wheels and whatnot to ensnare the whole field. Something so cool like that would be fun to watch, and imo fun to …

I believe that was the “Quadropus” [image] 1471A Toss Up Wallbot Reveal "Apophis" AKA The Quadropus VEX Robot Showcase This is the reveal for the wallbot we brought to Worlds. As far as we know, this is the largest robot in VEX history. Sadly we do not have any footage of …

Just out of curiousity, if that robot was broken by another robot by just driving over it, would that be illegal? Because that thing looks like it could be ripped apart by a strong drive base.

what about an expansion limit of 12’

I like the expansion limit to prevent crazy defense bots like 127X in Tossup, but I wish it was a little bigger. Maybe 48" instead?

Expansion limit, yay or nay

and yes a very cool robot that sadly didn’t go too far in worlds.
