Seeing rules extremely similar to this one being put to use through previous years it would lead me to believe that the cylinder would stay flat on the ground. For instance, back in 2008, if you fell over while trying to hurdle the trackball and your robot had to extend itslef to put the ball over, you woulod incur the "too-big" rule.
