Will this be the norm? Is this how it was done in other venues?

In Nashua teams modified their robots on the field and before they took them off. I don't recall seeing anyone held to the 60 second time limit however there were moments where we needed to push a few teams to finish setup.
The transport mode really messes with getting robots on and off the field in timely manners. A lot of people mentioned field reset was going to take a really long time this year and limit the cycle time per match. After doing it for a weekend its the transport configuration that is holding up the process because it takes longer for teams to setup and leave the field holding up the next round of teams. We found this combined with moving teams in a High School gym (where most districts are held) wasn't optimal since the limited room for staging caused many traffic jams.
