Re: FYI pyramid chain lengths different between actual and team dwgs.
Given that the post is 20" high on both drawings, 17" is probably the correct chain length.

On both drawings, I could not find the diameter or radius of the Chaing Hanger (round disc the chains are attached to). The platform is roughly 24 inches wide, which is roughly 11 inches from the pole. With each disc being 10.625 inches, I guess a Disc has to hit the chain in order to land fully in the platform.

The issue is scoring. Per 3.1.5.1, a disc cannot be touching a Robot. If a disc is hanging over the edge, it could lean against a Robot that has climbed to the top.
