They'll probably add an animal cruelty rule if you did.

But remember they wouldn't even let you reach over the glass in 2002?

Re: Wanna get a little taller? Is it legal?

There wasnt a rule against hamsters last year, but people obeyed common sence and saw that by gerbils they probably meant all rodents. But I dont think they've ever ruled out human power. Hmmm...12v battery and control board strapped to 100 lb person who can bend to under 5 ft. mwa ha ha ha ha

Re: Wanna get a little taller? Is it legal?

well - than to cause some trouble...

What if a student wears platforums (for the whole day) but it gives like 2+ inches of lift? Should there be a rule that we have to play in our socks only?

I'm gonna make some wooden shoes for sale. Any FIRST people intrested - drop me a pm and say how many inches of lift you want!!

You can go many ways with this...

(yea, yea - i'm a trouble starter - so what?)

The two inches would probably make it more difficult for her to score, not they I know from first hand experience.....or do I?

probably not .. i wear about 5 inch heels/platforms all day every day (except for at home and sports, etc) and i am pretty comfortable in them and can do things people in running shoes can do (which includes shooting hoops) ... so i dont think that it would be a problem for the HP if they are comfortable in them. so if a person was wearing shoes that increased their height, than i dont think it would be against the rules ..

and if a guy was wearing shoes to increase his height, would a FIRST official say something to him, because it might be his every day wear and then he might become offended ...

Our plan was to have our human player sit on Big Mike's shoulders. Darn.
