This update means that it is legal to have stuff hang below the robot because the frame perimeter is not being violated.

What "thing" you make which takes advantage of this is up to you. It could range from zipties hanging in the corners of your chassis that make sure you are touching the key when your robot is mostly off it to sticking something down from the ramp to make it easier to balance (of course it can't end the match touching the ground.)

What a great lead in to Week 3!
