This above statement seems like the biggest hint in the blog. Means that the field may be dangerous for student to enter/be part of and field crew will the the ones having to return robots. I am thinking some kind of elevated field elements.

Well for field reset in the past we have had the problem that people off load their robot to the field and then leave their cart in the middle of the queing zone. Most carts do not have any team markings so the volunteers are left to ask around to find out whose cart it is. That or we move it ourselves (often, it seems, to an area that the team is unhappy about even though it was them who didnt move their car tin the first place..but enough rant) I wouldn't be surprised if a volunteer suggested this rule as common practice and FIRST decided to adopt it.
