I have a picture that I uploaded in the Gallery and should be available soon.
And the rules are specific not to destroy the any part of the field, including the carpet. Could the judges see this, something that will be very common, as a DQ act? Unless FIRST has some type of stronger commercial carpet, which I doubt, this could be a problem.

Yes, that was a problem. The carpet we have down now is the one FIRST specified to use this year (and its been the same for the past few years).
This is a potential problem which we'll all have to think about for strategies.
