Can the vehicle “collapse” to fit into the 8″ x 6″ x 6″ box?
Yes, although the vehicle must be in the shape that fits in the 8″ x 6″ x 6″ box when it is placed at the start line and when its front end reaches the goal line. You are not allowed to alter any part of the vehicle after placed on the start line, except for turning the switch on. Q: Can the vehicle just extend its length to reach the end of the slope, rather than climbing the slope? A: No. When the vehicle’s front end reaches the goal line, it must be in the size that fits into the 8″ x 6″ x 6″ box.
