No, using a guide that hangs out of Base, even before the start, is NOT allowable. See Rule 14: Aiming – You may use a device to aim the robot, but its use must be completely in Base at all times, and you must let go of it prior to starting/restarting. There are LEGO pieces that are 2 studs wide, of course.
