I'm really worried about this, and I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more talk of it--am I missing something? I still like the 2010-esque latches (that can move out of the way of the horizontal crossbars) for this, but I don't even know how I'd know if they damaged the powercoat until competition time. Heck of a thing to be find illegal and lose 10-30pts/match over.

@Nuttyman54: you know you're agreeing with him, right? (re: "barely lifts the robot")
