Re: Failure of FUEL game piece

A) I'm pretty sure that they are identical to the real ones.

B) Like in previous years, imperfect GAME PIECES are to be expected during regulation play. They get damaged over time and FIRST expects teams to be able to handle the damaged ones. Such as in 2016 with the boulders having small chunks missing or being not quite round or in 2011 (throwback, I know ) when the tubes would not be fully inflated causing many intakes and grabbers not to function properly.

TL;DR The damage to GAME PIECES in real competition is to be expected.
