Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric

I have been watching the event for the majority of the day, and I've seen, on several instances, boulders and the low bar interact in such a way that provides concerning circumstances.
1. Robots driving onto boulders, under the low bar. It can cause a bit of a jam, as well as damage to the robot if they are going to fast.
2. Boulders rolling through. The human player station aligns with the low bar, and with a normal toss, the ball can easily get onto the outerworks, or even past it.
I'm curious to see how they deal with this, as not only does this raise scores by, in some occasions, having easier access to boulders, it also makes penalties in regards to boulders going over quite questionable.
