WHAT IS THE PYRAMID HEIGHT?
Hey everyone, my team is really confused about the heights of the pyramid rungs and we would like to get some clarification on the height of it. My team thinks that the 1st rung is measured 30 inches from the floor to the middle of the rung, based on the figure 2-7 drawing in the game manual (http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/viewItem/3#2), which the Q&A people said to refer to. However, if you watch the field tour video, one of the guys clearly states that the 30 inches is measured from the floor to the top of the first rung. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8E27...y8wIL&index=1).

So does anyone have a good idea of what the right measurements are? Has anyone downloaded the CAD of the field and checked? I'm really sorry about this but I feel that this has been unclear to a lot of people.
