[Dezion]

Our robot was intentionally designed to avoid getting caught/catching on the original low bar design. We even included a step in our autonomous code to raise the the flap, so there would be no chance of it getting stuck in our robot. With the new flaps, this step of our autonomous code was useless. The new fabric itself presented no issues and our robot never got caught on it or damaged it. From my experience, I have never seen a robot get caught completely in the low bar due to the new fabric (that's not to say robots haven't got caught in the low bar due to other reasons).

The biggest issue that I noticed with the new low bar fabric was boulders getting stuck in the defense. This would mean that if we wanted to cross the low bar when a boulder was stuck in it, we would have rid the boulder from our robot first, causing us to spend a bit more time crossing the defense(or we could incur a foul). As well, occasionally, these boulders could interfere with our rhino treads as we crossed the defense.
