Obviously if you extend beyond it, it will no longer be at the top, and I haven't seen anything saying the flag needs to be above the highest point on the robot yet...
You can temporarily extend things above the height of the flag. Not that you'd necessarily want to do this, but you could build an appendage that extends a COTS umbrella over your robot, to make it tougher to drop the tubes on the robot. As long as it was movable and not locked in place for most of the match, you'd be protected.
