I believe that it does not count, i remember reading that the ringer must be fully supported by the spider leg. But if someone else finds otherwise, please post.

Good question! The relevant Game Definition for HANGING is "...its' weight is fully supported by a SPIDER LEG...". In your example you could make a case (albeit a rather reaching one) that the RINGER is at least partially supported by the STINGER. However, in the real world of FIRST, I think that the referees would call it scored if the RINGER is touching the SPIDER LEG.

Where are you guys hiding this (partial) rack? I was there this morning, and I didn't see this.

This is 122's rack, not 612's. I'm at ODU in Norfolk, and I'm helping out 122 (NASA Knights) in Hampton.

The stinger sticks out 4" from the top of the end plate. Look at the rack sub-assembly documentation (http://www2.usfirst.org/2007comp/Dra...emblies_R-.pdf) for more info.
