It appears we *can* now uplift goals, contrary to rule GM20, if we grab the bar. Or is FIRST's definition of uplifting synonomous with tipping over?
This isn't actually conflicting based on how I'm reading it...GM20 says we cannot upend(tip over) a goal, attach to the plywood, reach under the lower base, or grab onto certain parts of the goal. Keep in mind that upend=tip over for all general purposes. My reading of the rulings they have made regarding this issue is that we can still pick up the goals, but we have to use only the steel pipe and flanges to do so.
