Taylor, I realize that rules interpretation on Chief Delphi is not binding, but in my conversations with Head Refs over the years I have heard many times that the views and concerns expressed on Chief Delphi do influence both the rulings of the GDCs as well as how Head Referees interpret the rules. Many rulings I have been told about started as questions and conversations here.

I actually hope Alan and the others are correct; I just question how they achieved their interpretations. Developing a ramp sounds much more feasible given the size of the FTC Robots than developing a lift mechanism.
