I'm not sure it was a whole foot of height, but this ramp was used at GLR and Detroit. A heavy beast - we got one of the bigger field-reset guys to move it about when it was needed. If it wasn't needed for a driver in a wheelchair, it was made available to a team with a short person driver. (Sorry if that's not the correct term.) Otherwise that team had a box he could stand on.
The rule interpretation was made so that the person in the wheelchair could be up on the ramp during autonomous, even though he would be in front of the foot-fault line.
