Re: Platform plane?

Assuming that resting on the platform is "above the plane" and my reading is that ... does the "plane" (as all mathematical planes do) extend beyond the platform? And if so, would a part of the robot that hangs below the "plane" (say, besides the platform) would it then no longer be "above the plane"? I could see a team placing a robot on the platform, then lowering something down to allow an alliance member to get on ... if the first one is no longer considered elevated (since part now breaks the plane), then the alliance partner they are suspending is not suspended, since they are not on a robot that is elevated.

Sounds like something for Q&A.

Steve
