May have been at kickoff, but now a 15" x 30 chunk of polycarb flipping up and over into a robot would be a very unpleasant change. I can see where teams anticipated a 6 oz pipe going across the top of there robot, but not the polycarb. If the polycarb gets jammed into the robot that can be a bad thing.
Not sure what the fix is, but polycarb sheet isn't it.
Maybe flaps/ vertical strips of plastic like you see on commercial freezer doors to allow entrance and egress, That would let the robot pass but stop the boulders. The strips would stay attached. They would need to run tests on entanglement.
