Once the Structure has come to rest on the Tester Base, it must not touch the ramp or extend beyond the Tester Base.”

In the Challenge, Section I.D.9 should read: “Once the Structure has come to rest on the Tester Base, if the Structure contacts the Structure Tester anywhere other than the top surface of the Tester Base, the bottom surface of the Pressure Board, and/or the Safety Pole, your team must reposition the Structure before beginning Weight Placement. Your team must also reposition the Structure before beginning Weight Placement if it touches the ramp or extends beyond the Tester Base. In this case, your team will not be eligible for the Precision Bonus. (See Section I.G.5.)”
