Before autonomous starts when we are positioning our robot, is it legal to rest our intake on a game object? If it is still inside our 18x18x18 limit?

Let’s take a look at the specific rule from the VEX Gateway Game Manual .
<SG2> Prior to the start of each Match, each Alliance will have two (2) Barrels and two (2) Balls available as Preloads, one (1) of each per Robot. A Scoring Object is considered to be legally preloaded if it is touching the Robot or a legal Preload, and would not be considered Scored if there was no contact with a Robot. Preloads may also not be touching any Goal. (See figure 11)
There is nothing in the rule that restricts robots from touching Scoring Objects at the start of the match. Figure 11, depicted in the manual, further emphasizes this.
