Re: [YMTC]: field of view

I'm a little confused...Are the ramps deployed or not? If they are, they are violating <R05> and <R06>.

<R05> "Wedge” ROBOTS are not allowed. All parts of a ROBOT between 0 and 8.5 inches from the ground ... must be within 10 degrees of vertical...
<R06> Ramps, platforms as other mechanisms specifically designed to elevate ROBOTS during the END GAME are exempt from Rule <R05> when they are deployed in the HOME ZONE. Such devices deployed outside the HOME ZONE are not covered by this exemption.

The ramps are not in the home zone. They should be penalized for disobeying these rules.
