Height of driver station wheel chair platform ?

[Conor Ryan]

I've set it up at a variety of events and its about a 8" tall and takes up about 1/3 of the driver's station. Its quite large and heavy, but very sturdy and set up is a breeze with a well trained crew. Post in the Q&A and you will get the correct answer for the dimensions, I would also specify which events you are attending.

Most people never see it, but in the events where its needed usually, the teams that need it, Queuing, the Field Supervisor and maybe 1-2 other people work together to set it up so its ready for the team immediately. You also want to make sure its in the correct position for the Driver/Co-Pilot/Coach/Human Player based on your controls set up.

I'm not aware of any district fields that have a wheelchair ramps, does anyone know if they exist?

On a related note, G12 seems to have no exception for disability situations. I'm assuming a wheelchair bound driver need not be 'behind the line' during autonomous? I don't seem to recall this being the case in my recollection of seeing them used in the past, but I could be wrong.

Seems like there ought to be blue box or something addressing this situation in the official rules.

Wheel chair platform has a ramp thats attached to it. Usually Ref's make a fair judgement call on the situation.

I've never seen one at a District Event nor had to set one up whilst volunteering... I would definitely ask in Q&A.

We do not have one for the PNW district.

I asked about the wheelchair ramp during the off-season events in both MAR and NE, and neither district had one. But of course things might have changed since then or I may be misremembering since it was just an idle inquiry at the time.
I'll see MAR's field for week 0 and will notice then whether it has a ramp or not.
