Greetings all fellow FIRST'ers
I need some opinions from past and present refs.
We have a student that wants to be the shooter for our team. The problem is, he is approx. 4 foot tall. When he is at the drivers station he can't see over a the laptop's lid and he can't easily see the first zone.
I posted the question to the GDC and here is their resoponse:

The rule they are referring to is:
<T26> The only equipment that may be brought on to the ARENA is the OPERATOR CONSOLE, reasonable decorative items, and special clothing and/or equipment required due to a disability. Other items, particularly those intended to provide a competitive advantage for the TEAM, are prohibited.
My question is. Would he considered handicapped and would we be out of line if we made a step stool for him?
