It can only expand in height if it's touching your alliance tower and cannot expand beyond the Normal Configuration size limits. If you leave your tower by choice or force you must return to your normal configuration...28" x 38" x 16".
Additionally, this means you cannot "shrink" to lower your center of gravity.
Am I correct???

Thes rules as i've seen as of most recently, say you are not allowed to raise or lower something such as a ramp. during normal congfiguration. This seems to put a damper in teams that were designing something that had to retract to go under the tunnel.
