Remember that your scissor lift just created a BUNCH of pinch points. I hope you guys are constructing some type of shield to cover them, otherwise you might not make it past inspection. I know this rule gave teams a hard time last year with the scissor lift idea:

All points and corners that would be commonly expected to contact a TRACKBALL should have a minimum radius of 0.125 inches to avoid becoming a snag/puncture hazard. All edges that would be commonly expected to contact a TRACKBALL should have a minimum radius of 0.030 inches. All of these potential hazards will be carefully inspected.
