Re: Official Vertical Bar Ruling
Cory is right. You are asking for a very specific technical interpretation of the rules. This forum, as good as it is, is not the right place to ask this type of question. CD cannot provide official answers, only the FIRST Q&A web site can. If you base your design on an answer that you receive here, and then implement a system based on that answer that runs afoul of the rules at the competitions, the judges/inspectors will not cut you any slack. Conversely, if you can show them an answer from that FIRST Q&A board that supports your design, then you are in good shape. if you don't feel that you are getting a complete answer on the FIRST system, then ask again and be sure to clearly, concisely state your real question (and where appropriate, clarify any "soft language" in a prior question that may have led to an unclear answer).
Both CD and the FIRST Q&A board are amazing resources and fonts of information. But please be sure to use them appropriately, and don't ask them to do things for which they were not designed.
