Q&A:612 Rock Wall Dimension Change

This will be coming out in Team update 4 Friday. HQ got the dimension of the Rock Wall wrong in both the team and field drawings and it's actually 5.5" wide instead of 4.5" (The height appears to have been correct).

Q&A612
Quote:
Q. Team drawings show defense ramps 10 inches but real field is almost 12. Also at NH kickoff I measured the width of stone wall 5.5 but team and real field drawings show 4.5. My photos also show the width wider than tall. Are corrections for dimensions needed?

A. Regarding the discrepancy you describe in the first part of your question, we think the answer to Q573 answers your question. The second part, however, does show a discrepancy, the correct dimension is 5.5 inches. Both the Field Drawings and Team Version Drawings will be updated to show the revision in Team Update 04. (Edited to correct team update number)
I'm hoping they choose to change the fields and not change the drawings since so many teams have already been making decisions based on the published specs. We even already made a sheet metal rock wall to the originally published specs.
