Vertical expansion limits

VEX V5 General Discussion

Just curious on why they removed sg3 b, as the new rule states it must fit in a theoretical 22”x22”x22” limit does this mean it moves with the robot? As in a lift idea with another robot stacked ontop of another could be viable, as each robot does not go past said box at any point on the robot. Couldn’t they have kept this in is if were intended to be a box placed on the feild ground?

Asking to see if a lift idea like nothing but net with a pto could be viable, as i think its a creative design idea.

I’m pretty sure they did it to allow that type of parking, especially since there’s a photo of it in the manual itself. <SG3b> made it illegal, so the rule was removed. Also, I don’t think a park like that would be very viable except maybe in VEX U, since you would probably need specialized connectors between the robots to allow one to lift the other. The Nothing But Net lift probably wouldn’t work as well either, since the parking barrier and expansion rules make a forklift like that pretty difficult. This is just speculation though.
