Q:We have a question concerning the placement of the flag. One of our ideas is to have a large unfolding ramp, onto which we would mount the flag. Throughout the majority of the match, our ramp will be folded up, and is by far the highest point on the robot. When our ramp unfolds in the last 15 seconds of the match, the flag would be lower than the rest of our robot, and would be pointed horizontally. Since this is a temporary condition, only at the end of the match, would this be permissible?
A:No. That would be a violation of Rule <R15>.
