This might be legal for a driver, but only the drivers may "operate" the console, so your coach (as in the original post) could not use the periscope! See Rule G36.

In 2006 my daughter was 12 yrs old and the manipulator. She could barely see over the console. The drive coach said he didn't want her standing on a box. He only wanted the opposing alliance to be able to see her eyes!!. The OI board was almost as tall as she was. It did cause a few double takes the first couple of matches.

No, it is not. The "overhang" will try to occupy the same space as some very solid aluminum, and I don't think the aluminum field will lose that battle.

Sorry, but everyone else read the same rules.
