Rule G05 and Autonomous

I was under the impression that we had to be perpendicular to one side of the pyramid. Can we really place however we want as long as we're touching the pyramid?

Thanks

Clarification on exact placement: G05 says touching the pyramid. That is the only positional requirement.

You don't change the mode; FMS (the field system) takes care of that. There are ways to select between autonomous modes; I would suspect parameters can be changed as well.
