Extending before finale?
I have already read the rules, and this: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=13846

This might be a better question for Q&A, but our team was wondering if it was legal to *partially* extend our lifting arm in to prepare for the finale, so that it would still stay inside the "normal configuration" bounds.

Also, if we do decide to extend to the "finale configuration" before the finale for some reason, we know we must be touching the tower. Is the the tunnel (or anything below the platform) considered part of the tower? Or just anything above the platform?
