I agree, I'd rather have the problem that is more easily fixed. In 4265's first Q we had an issue. We run a modified Octoanum drive, (Butterfly modules with Collson/Mecanum) and placed ourselves as far forward in the white as we could. This meant that the wheels that were on the ground at the time were all the way forward, while still in the white zone. Because the wheels on the ground are closer to the center than the wheels that were up, this meant that the front part of the robot was past the line. However the rule explicitly states that all of the robot contacting the carpet has to be in the white zone. It wasn't until the Head Ref took a look that we were able to start the match. As soon as he did, we didn't have any trouble with this throughout the competition.
