Re: Team Update 15 (2016)

This just seems like such a bad idea. There's so many low bar bots that went with an open middle and rails to guide the pipe over. Now they get to worry about their shooter or turret catching a flap and getting ripped from their robot.
EDIT:
For example, 1114's bot. That wide over the bumper intake would probably fit two flaps inside. I'm sure they planned to have it down and running when they went through the low bar, but now they have to worry about it eating a flap. It just seems wrong to penalize teams that designed around the field in order to make things easier for teams with sharp pointy things that damaged the field.
