After looking at the modified field drawings, I definitely think this will improve things during week 2. The angle of the polycarbonate piece is greatly increased. Hopefully balls will, at worst, remain at the edge of the polycarbonate, allowing teams to simply push the balls out of the way with their drive train or intake them into their robot. Teams seemed to have the most problems during week 1 when the balls would escape the reach of most team's intakes or appendages under the bridge.
