Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric
 

You're welcome. :D

The fabric that FIRST had sent us seemed like a cotton or polyester fabric, with a tight weave and some elasticity to it. Obviously, it didn't do too well. Our Pit Admin went out to a local fabric store and purchased a polypropylene fabric signed for outdoor applications. This was certainly more resistant to puncture than the initial set, but not indestructible. We found that this new fabric still tore when robots came into contact with the low bar frame, but the tears were far smaller and the fabric held up through the rest of the event.
