Height of driver station wheel chair platform ?

I believe when it was used here in MN few years ago, it was supplied by the team that needed it, justified under T21 part D. I'm not aware of an official ramp that is included as part of the field.

I was reading in an old CD post, and they believed it was a little over a foot higher.

There is an official wheelchair ramp included with the Regional fields, but I've never measured it.
It's usually kept in a corner out of the way until it's needed. It's quite heavy.

I'd contact FIRST HQ or ask on Q&A for an official measurement.
If you can wait for week 0 there may be one at the Manchester area event you can ask someone to measure.

Man, setting up fields and volunteering at events for years and I never knew this'll. Learn something new every day!

Stick around after field break down until the truck is fully loaded and it's the last thing to go on the truck.

I recall that as well and a public thank you to a team that built it (which I think was not the team that needed it, but I could be wrong on that..) but I think that was the state tourney or maybe an off-season event, not an official regional.

This is correct I personally made the ramp used at the MN State Championships last year. I'm not 100% certain of the exact height but I recall it being between 6-8".
