Re: Field durability

At Hatboro I saw a shovel the fries break (saw it being repaired in the machine shop), the rock wall come out of the base and fly into the courtyard, and a portcullis come crashing down as a robot tried to traverse it. And that's just from being there for an hour and seeing Instagram posts so I'm sure there were more problems. At the end of the night the field was behind schedule by almost an hour and a half!

EDIT: Just talked to a friend competing at Hatboro and the field ended 1 hour and 47 minutes behind schedule (10 matches postponed until tomorrow). One of their matches was restarted 5 times! The field was utterly destroyed
