I do believe the field drawings themselves take precedence over the manual, which takes precedence over the animation/field tour.

Yes but....By that logic, the Rock Wall should have never changed. All dimensions were consistent between the team drawings, official drawings and the manual. The only way the discrepancy was found was through measurements taken on the built field in Manchester at kickoff.
In this case, I wouldn't necessarily treat the animation as having any bearing, but the video of the real field is again discrepant with the manual and drawings.
I don't expect this issue to be quite as hard to resolve (after all it's just the order of the planks), but if the real field differs from the documentation, we'd want to know.
Fwiw, the defenses are all keyed so they can't be installed "backward".
I am kind of curious how many robot designs actually care about the order, vs just wanting to practice on the right thing. Seems like a pretty specific, asymmetrical design is required, but I've seen stranger things...
