I surprised thw whole issue of wheelchairs or accomidations for disabilities hasn't come up before. FIRST has a rule that says a drivers feet has to be on the ground, well obviously that excludes anyone in a wheelchair from driving. Even if someone has cruches it would take them longer to move forward if there behind some line. Its unfair no matter how short the distance.

I've got an easy solution. Have the drivers put there hands on the glass like there being frisked for the 15 seconds. Obviously they can't control there bot and they can't do any subverted control either. It would have the same impact on the audience as being behind the line
