Sure having multiple flaps hanging inside a robot, when the design was for a solid bar across the top, but these flaps don't look like they are going to pose much of an issue for any robots that I have seen. They look exceptionally slick and very responsive to being pushed aside.

Get back to me once you've played with them. And even then it's not a change that effects everyone. But it does effect some people because robots were designed for a specific fabric. As a collective FIRST did not give teams ample time to adjust so some teams are being penalized. They should have just played without the fabric this week and installed the flaps next week.
