I would say that you should e-mail FIRST and tell them you will be bringing it so they can let the competitions guys know.

COME ON!!!
Dean said that the game is not fair and wasnt meant to be. The intent of this rule was to keep from giving *anyone* an advantage beyond their own physical characteristics. A box would do exactly that. Sure, it isnt "fair" that theyre shorter than average, but noone forced them to drive.

Hey, my human player is pretty short. I think I'll ask FIRST to chop a foot or two off of every human player's legs over 6' tall...

P.S. telling FIRST you're bringing it wont do anything except let them know who to go to and tell that they can't do such a thing.
