I sure can.

Here's the original question: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=11349

Here's the followup question, where they actually provide guidelines: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=11503

They pretty much said that 1/8" plate on minimum standoffs won't pass, but taking that same plate and altering it for strength, say by making it into a C-channel, will. It's up to the inspectors, yes, but the initial ruling ruled out the standard method that teams might use.
