I wouldn't doubt your word, but I don't think that's accurate. You say that the rule was created after 2002, which would mean that it was in effect last year, too. Our robot last year had two wheels and two metal ball transfers, all of which touched the ground. We were inspected in Sacramento, and twice in Atlanta. It's hard for me to believe that they would have missed something like that all three times, so I can only assume that the interpretation that the other folks (2000vfr800 and Wayne Doenges) have provided is correct. Feel free to prove me wrong.
