Check out that match md_qf2m2 at

We were touching the ramp in that match QF2M2 and didnt get the 25 pts (still won 69-68 on bins). We got up on 3 wheels, since our cg is heavily toward the back when there is no stack in the front. However, a wire tire (not the wheel's tread) on the rear left wheel that holds our tread onto our wheel was barely touching the metal strip at the top. Remember it is not the only the wire grating but the metal strip between the grating and the HDPE that u have to avoid to be on top of the ramp.
It was a really close call. Dean Kamen (who was attending the new regional) was the first on the seen to investigate (u cant see him from the video's angle). He seemed to think GeroniMOE was on but the Head Ref said no. We all chanted "Paper!" but they never used the calibrated contact tester. I'll try to get a good pic of this.
