Give the kid the experience of being on the competition field. It's a one of a kind experience, and not one that should be easily discarded for some rule about bringing a stool in.

So it's OK for someone 4'?
How about 4'1"? 4'2"? 5'?
Where do you draw the line. FIRST has decided that noone should have a step stool. It's their competition.
Plus there may be far more issues here than 1 person looking over the wall.
The question was asked. The GDC gave their ruling. If you don't like it then maybe you can run your own tournament and let people ignore your rulings.

P.S. I do sympathize, but the question was asked to the proper ruling body and an answer was given. 'nuff said.
