I talked to a FIRST Staff/ HEAD REF today, i asked him about the question if short drivers should be able to use a a device to prop them higher up, and heres his answer (*cut down in length). Unless there is a physical disability there should be no reason why a such device would be needed. Part of FIRST is choosing your drive team. Many thoughts and decisions should be placed forward when drivers are selected. One of these are heigth issues. If your team choose a short driver then you choose a short driver. So at the heigth of 5'2", a device to raise your point of vision will not be allowed. Also if you plan on using a device or need a device present please clear it through FIRST and your Regional/event Director prior to the event.
