oooo. that’s a tough one cause it is the anchor but true it is the bottom part–this would likely be something that a FRC official person would be able to answer.
Section 5.4.1.:
ANCHORS are a collection of surfaces at the top of the CAGE and chain assembly that include the following
items and as shown in Figure 5-11:
A. the top surface of the CAGE top plate,
B. the chain,
C. both carabiners,
D. the portion of the eye bolt extending above the CAGE top plate,
E. the eye nut attached to the BARGE,
F. the upper end surfaces of the CAGE pipes, and
G. the inside surfaces of the CAGE pipes.
Specifically, only the top surface of the plate is part of the anchor. The sides and bottom surface are ok to touch.
