Re: Moving lift to put gear on peg easier

A couple of observations:

Presumably you will try for one of the pie sections on the gear. The actual pie holes on the gear you are aiming for is a lot smaller than 6 inches.

The lift is constrained to vertical movements. The pilots are constraint to staying in the airship & only handling the lift rope when the lift is down. Very little danger with both the pilot and the robot interacting with the lift at the same time. Any rule effecting this will be difficult for the referees to judge. Rules are already there to prevent you from pulling the robot into the airship.

Hopefully the GDC will clarify this. Otherwise the head rererree can at the pre-match driver's meeting.
