Re: Ten Foot Pole behind the castle wall

Our team likely had one of the best implemented camera "periscopes" at our regional event. It was securely mounted to a retractable pole and securely fastened to our driver station.

We were told by the head ref in our second to last match that our pole/periscope was "un-safe"

I expect this to be an issue for teams that didn't implement the periscope as well as we did, and there will be plenty of inconsistent ruling across events. Maybe FIRST will have to put out an update on this one too....
