If you have a girl (...or a guy, I suppose) that's 6', it's not incredibly hard to find 6" high-heels. Just throwing that out there.

Now that I think about it, would stilts be considered "special equipment" if they were worn by a drive team member during a match? They wouldn't have to be more than a few feet high. I wonder if they would be legal, as unlikely as it would be.
