Re: Starting position rule "change"?

Yes, I may be nit-picking. I presume the dimensions of the LAUNCH PAD prevent too much slop here. But I could envision a team that places their robot to the far right of the PAD with the trailer to the far left, with the hitch at maximum angle, resulting in the side of the trailer touching the wall (not just the vertex). I'm wondering if this ruling means that the trailer must be positioned 90 degrees with respect to the wall. I guess I wonder what "flush" means.
