Its first use was at the IndianaFIRST State Championship six weeks earlier.

The 4 entry/exits were really neat. No plexiglass to slide over the metal ramps when they are raised, which removed the risk of them falling off and interfering with the robots like I heard happened a few times this year.
The representative from FIRST HQ supervised some "abuse testing" of the gates after the IndianaFIRST event. Mark Koors identified a slight change that would make them more robust. I wonder if that change was on the field as you used it.

The thing that really impresses me about that field design is how few road cases are needed to hold and transport it.
