Can the preloaded cone be on the robot not touching the floor when the round begins?

Please review the Q&A Usage Guidelines before posting, specifically point 1, “Read and search the manual before posting any questions”. <SG2> details all requirements for preloaded Cones:

<SG2> Prior to the start of each Match, each Robot must use its one (1) Cone available as a Preload. A Cone is considered to be legally preloaded if it is touching the Robot, not touching another Robot, and is fully within the field perimeter. If a Robot is not present for their Match, their Cone will be placed randomly such that it is touching the Alliance Starting Bar.

There is no criteria that the preloaded Cone must be touching the floor at the start of a Match.
