This is incorrect, 1678 was briefly debating this idea and IT DOES WORK with the rules and without jumping. At least until the pre-champs rules update.
The requirement was to make a 45" long chassis robot and using a 15" extension in front and back drive up the wall to latch in place, then pivot up past 90 so your deployed flaps would block half of each side goal.
See the linked post to our prototype/proof of concept in the previous comments.
