Just one of the many ideas of course. And all you need it is the first 5 seconds to pull the goals in. Nothing the other teams can do about that when they start on the other side. If the other teams got to the goals before you are done retracting the extension, your design isn't good anyway.

And the extension have to be check with the entanglement rule anyway. They say they won't care if you extend the extension the last second anyway.

So, I am still pretty proud of myself thinking outside the box.
