This is an odd question to be asked in the middle of Week 4, but here it goes...
What way does the Cheval de Frise go?
In the Game Manual and official field drawings, it's positioned as so:
So, when looking at the Cheval from the Neutral Zone, the panels are positioned as "Down - Up - Down - Up". The panel on the right is positioned away from you.
But, on the official field in the
game reveal video as well as in
the field tour videos, it looks like this:
Here, the panels are "Up - Down - Up - Down" when viewed from the Neutral Zone. The right panel is positioned towards you.
I feel that the Game Manual might be in the wrong in this case. Simply turning the Cheval around wouldn't solve the problem, it's the panels themselves that would need to be switched. What are others' thoughts on this?
EDIT: We have submitted the following question on the official Q&A:

According to FE-00039 in the 2016 Field Assembly document and 2016 Game Manual Figure 2-1, the Cheval de Frise is positioned so the panels are oriented “Down-Up-Down-Up” when viewed left-right. However, on the field shown in the FIRST STRONGHOLD Game Reveal and Field Tour videos posted on the FRCTeamsGlobal YouTube Channel the panels are oriented "Up-Down-Up-Down." Can you confirm that the orientation shown in the Field Assembly document and Game Manual is correct?

I will post an update in this thread once the question has been answered.
