Re: Wrong Field Measurements and Bad FMS
As Field Supervisor at the Groton & Southington District plus Field reset at the Hartford District in Connecticut, I can tell you that the field definitely grew an average of 2-3 inches resulting in the classic folds on each end. In Groton the carpet was taped down on a brown craft paper. In Southington & Hartford the carpet was taped down on a vinyl rolled-out layer, which did stretch. As for being off an inch in the colored zones, I saw many robots shooting on the fly, so that "1 inch" was a moot point. If you are relying on being within 1 inch so you can shoot your ball, that takes too much time to line up & results in longer cycle times than someone who can just shoot as they fly down the field.
