If you see the thread that Joe linked, there's a lot of discussion as to what "SUPPORTED" means, because it isn't defined in the manual. I'm pretty sure that nobody wants to carry on that particular debate any more. Personally, I don't agree with what the GDC is calling "SUPPORTED", but all I can ever ask for is that the rules are enforced consistently, regardless of how ridiculous the rule is. Tubes that are touching the underside of lifting robots have negated all lifts at every event I have attended or watched, and I applaud the refs for being consistent.
