Omri- That p[ortion of <G30> allows you to start your hang early (Before the Finale - last 20 seconds of the match) if for any reason that is necessary (i.e. taking longer than 20 seconds to hang, etc.).

Re: extend doring contact with allaince tower.

Saying it cannot go over the FINALE CONFIGURATION means that the FINALE CONFIGURATION dimensions are the maximum the robot can go, at all. The FINALE CONFIGURATION is the max dimensions for the robot, accounting for extending anything off the top to hang with.

Hopefully that clears it up, since DanDon has the right idea, but the rule explicitly makes the FINALE CONFIGURATION the max dimensions for the robot, bar none (no pun intended).
