Here's ours: these are our lift cylinders after one of our elimination matches (pics stolen shamelessly from one of my fellow mentors). We actually had a third cylinder damaged earlier in the regional, but I didn't get any pictures of that one.

Those pictures confirm the concerns I've had since kickoff with the extensions being 20" and the field being ripe for harsh defense.
Also, long cylinder rods outside the bumper zone are just asking to be damaged. The lever are is just too long.
