Agreed.
We had a FIRST remote kickoff in Kokomo, so I had to line up someone to build the ramp here in Kokomo, confidentially. This person really paid attention to the details of the ramp, since he knew that our team and many others would be depending on his skill.
During the kickoff broadcast, I believe that someone mentioned that the only difference between the detailed drawings of the ramp and the actual constructed ramp was a 1/2" strip of steel for use as trim to cover the seam between the grating and the plastic. I remember this because the guy who put our ramp together asked me if I wanted him to add that strip after the kickoff was over.
I don't recall that FIRST said that there was a 1/2" height difference between the plastic and grating.
Lewis... this 1/2" additional piece may have been the point of confusion and it might have been misunderstood as a height difference. With all of the Q/A and verbal description that goes on during the kickoff, this could be easily mis-interpreted.
Sincerely,
Andy B.
