Are you saying there are no situations in which the 1/4" lexan ramp can comfortably hold something defined as a robot by the 2012 rules, with an appropriate safety factor and the risk of field damage minimized? To be frank, that simply is not the case. That's the whole reason people are upset - not just publicly on Chief Delphi.

I can't post experience or data - I may or may not have any, but I can only comfortably post about my own team's tests, which we didn't do. My main personal motivation for posting is because I'd like to defend the very engineering-y idea that building creative solutions within specifications is inspiring.
