Virginia, we had the same issue. There was a team that had some longer scrap pieces of Conduit. They kindly donated them but thankfully were not needed beyond a few matches.

Oddly enough I haven't seen a single ball bounce back into the field after being scored. If they add those panels at certain regionals it may be a smart idea to do what pyro mentioned was done. Or use giant versions of the tritons from Breakaway :P

ALL the fields should have 'em by now. They were added by Update after Week 1's bounceout fests.

I actually have seen a ball bounce back into the field after being scored, even with the panels. One ball. (On the other hand... that just happened to be the one the refs figured was a fully-scored ball, and pressed the end-cycle button... right before it bounced out...)

And field fault! I remember this match....

I did... after a ball got stuck there and an auton shot bounced out and didn't count :(

We (857) managed it in autonomous :rolleyes: during Q54. They had a pipe to clear it off.

This happened to us in week one prior to the addition of the panels.

The panels probably actually help to minimize this problem since without it the round bars made a "pocket" for the ball to rest in.

The video doesn't show the ball coming to a rest up there. I should also note that the volunteer nearly knocked the ball back through the goal onto the field trying to remove it.
