Re: Ball deflectors.....don't
In KC today, several matches saw balls under both sides of bridges. It turns out if the ball is near the end of the bridge, the thing has to be tipped all the way to the floor on the other side or the ball won't move.
I wouldn't complain about it as an impediment, it plays the same for all. If FIRST's goal is to make coopertition a cool thing for the crowd to see though, they missed the boat. The ball under the bridge seems to have a randomizing effect on how successful teams are. It is a very specific type of mechanism that can deal with it the way it is currently playing out.
