Re: FIRST 2016 Game Manual Mistakes

There appears to be a conflict in the material on some field pieces

Cheval de Frise

Manual Page 6 (PDF Page 12) says "The Cheval de Frise is a series of four (4) independently tilting, weighted HDPE platforms."

Drawing GE-16028 lists the material as "Material: Clear Polycarb, .5" Thick"

This could be a big difference depending on wheel material!

The field video does not mention the material of the C de F

Drawbridge

Manual Page 7 (PDF Page 13) says "The Drawbridge is an arched gateway with a door that lowers toward the NEUTRAL ZONE. The door is made from polycarbonate and is 37 in. tall and ¼ in. thick."

Drawing GE-16172 lists the material as "Material: Clear Polycarbonate, .125 Thick"

The field video says these are polycarb, but does not say the thickness

Q&A where are you?! We need to order some plastic and test our wheels. I remember in 2012 that a lot of "very sticky" wheels did not like the bridges
