Ok people, no one is saying that someone shouldnt be allowed to participate because they can't see over the barrier. There's a little bit of a difference between being too short to see above the barrier, and being "a little short" What does "a little short" mean? Well, the average height of a male is approximately 5'10". I would take "a little short" to mean between 5'4" and 5'10".

So, basically, what I (and others) have been trying to say is that if you just arent as tall as everyone else, you cant use something to boost your height up, regardless of whether it will give you an advantage over someone of "average" or taller height.

If someone is short enough that they can't see over the barrier, then obviously FIRST should allow them to be able to stand on something so that they can see the field.

There's a huge difference between being a dwarf, and being a few inches under the average height. Let's all chill out and Im sure we'll find that FIRST will allow an aid in the case of the first situation.
