Okay, glad I checked. I got it fixed now so that there's a 'track' that I lay
down on the common area. It only joins with about 10 studs, so it's like two
seconds to put on.

I know we had a discussion at one point about not sitting there putting thirty
rack pieces on the common platform, but this isn't like that, it's just a single
unit that drops down... so I assume that's okay. Certainly if I had to sit
partly on and partly off a baseplate, accuracy in the dropper would go out the
window.

(...) The rules state the common platform is 32x48 (32x32 and a 32x16). So there's no clean edge like you have there, you'd have to overlap onto the common platform by about five studs. That's because no baseplate with the width of the legs exists (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
