It's painful and long (unlike this thread which is upbeat and long) but there is meaningful discussion in there about GDC rulings that would seem to make the sprocket components on the underside of the 179 ramp illegal.

I know our team is anxiously awaiting the GDC's response to the open questions posted by 148 and 1619 so hopefully one/both of those replies put us all in the clear!

Great work though and good luck!
I don't see why the sprockets would be illegal. The 1st part of the ramp that is going to cross the frame perimeter is going to be the very top/part that actually touches the carpet. After that everything that comes after will be part of a "contiguous" appendage. Seems legit to me.
