Unhappy Re: 14 inch protrusion beyond frame

Oh dear. Some clarification, some raised confusion.

It is clear to me that the protrusion must be inside the frame at inspection and may be deployed on the field at match time.

What is not clear to me is the MANNER in which is may be deployed.

We had made a wedge that extended outside of the frame (but within 14 inches) that is able to move the ramp down for our robot to get on.

We have a few ideas on how to stow it attached but within the frame up to match time. But it requires unlatching latches by hand -- much like a door on door handles and a door handle locking into place using one's hand.

We are not sure if doing such is allowed.
