In 2012, they changed the field elements because balls were getting stuck under bridges. That change was made after week 1 events. You could've told teams to design around it then, but FIRST fixed the field. FIRST also added chains in the goals after week 0 in 2013. The field is not some divine, fixed entity. It can change, and should be changed.
