Re: Team Update 15 (2016)

I didn't hear of any major problems with the removal of the fabric and addition of a foul that many events implemented after issues week 1. Did I miss something?

The removal of the hanging bar makes it difficult if not impossible for many teams, including my own to keep the flaps out of the robot. Many teams designed around using the hanging bar to avoid snags and damage to mechanisms. Why couldn't the strips have been fastened to the bar on the bottom?

Overall I'm happy and not surprised by the solution. Fortunately any teams that this causes issues for have plenty of time to change things before Champs.
