You might want to be careful there, since G7-B says "fully supported by the floor, SCORING PLATFORM, and/or SCORING PLATFORM ramps on their ALLIANCE’S side of the FIELD". You might run into trouble if you have a mechanism so lightweight it ends up supported by a TOTE. Also entanglement hazards are still a bad thing, even if not immediately illegal.
