Maximum Height - A ROBOT may not extend above 60” above the floor or the ALLIANCE PLATFORM in a stable configuration at any time during a match.

ROBOTs designed to violate this rule are not allowed. For example, a ROBOT that extends a blocking device in front of the center goal will be disqualified....The one exception to the height restriction is provided in rule <R13> (flag rule).

At least, that's how my team interprets it. And of course, better safe than sorry, seeing as if the refs decide the flag is extenden in front of the center goal it's a DQ.
