A great example which used to be legal, and now is not as you have stated was Team 19 in 2003.

They started standing up and to gain full width advantage, fell over and made their (starting) height (60") their width when driving.

It was a great strategy for a couple reasons, but there was always a safety hazard involved, and also a field damage issue.

This was outlawed in 2004/2005 I forget which.
