Expanding Robots

Hi

I just need to clarify the rules for an expanding robot. It needs to be in its shrunken state when it is in the cube but does it expand as soon as it enters the arena or after the 3 2 1 activate?

autonomous clusterbot

hi

i am planning a cluster bot which comprises of two or three robots, but only one is rc. the other one or two would be either fully or semi autonomous ( and another point to consider would be that the semi/auto bot/s would be probably lighter than the controlled)
