Re: Ball deflectors.....don't

The field is working as designed, from my point of view that design was not clearly stated. Since the ball ramps aren't part of the low cost field there was a slim chance a team would discover this challenge on their own with out some hints from FIRST. They could have worded it "that the ball ramps allow balls to be removed when the bridge is tipped to the other side" and I think a lot more teams would have understood the challenge as FIRST intended it.
