I'm fine with it. I have no problem playing in the pits.
My concern is the switch halfway through Friday. This is an unnecessary logistical headache for teams. We've had to tweak our automodes at every regional we attend because the distance between the tower and the scoring pegs has been different. Also, as Jon Jack mentioned, any field switching is a nightmare for teams using line trackers or the camera. Going to a brand new field in the middle of the day is an unnecessary challenge for the teams. I hope FIRST reconsiders this decision and leaves the divisions stationary. I'd much rather stay in the pit for all division play, then be bouncing around. If they do decide to do thee bouncing, at least don't make it a midday switch, which has the additional hassle of moving all team members from one location to another.
I'm sure logistical headaches have forced FIRST to go with divisions in the pits. I get that. I just hope they won't add logistical headaches for the teams by making us move around.
