THerein lies the problem.

I think that using FIRST Q&A is the only way to slove it. THey might say, noone gets to do that, which would be disastrous (hope that you can grab from the other side). Or, FIRST will say that they meant something else (which very well could be the case.

I just dont think that asking people on CD is the way to go about it. FIRST won't get swayed by people saying, i think it is or i think it isn't.

I agree that using CD to answer my question is not the way to get the "ALL-BINDING FIRST ANSWER." I have posed the question to the Q&A system and will await thier ruling.

FIRST has indicated all season in the Q&A system that they do not promote any designs, through comments such as "Sorry, but we do not get involved in robot design." The 28x38 base would seem to be pushing a design and limiting creativity.

Just think of "the" rule (978); The intent of this rule is that you must be in the loading zone. By making it blatantly obvious that you are in the loading zone, you will draw far less attention from the referees.
