Rule G2 prevents teams from climbing on the pyramid. So teams will have to remove the robot while standing on the ground?
I worry that for some teams attempting the 3rd level climb this may inadvertently mean no female drivers this year. If our team were picking a drive team that needed to have the height and upper body strength to safely remove a high climbing robot, without even a step stool, most if not all of the women that were on our drive team last year would be at a significant disadvantage this year. I hope there is some serious consideration of how the inflexibility in this rule as currently stated might end up affecting some students.
