They could also add a flat part at each end of the field (at the top of the slopes) to make the slope steeper or to have a spot to put something so it would not automatically roll to the middle. It is very doable, but I doubt that we will see a field in such a manner in this year's game.

Well when I thought V shaped field I really meant a sloped field only at the edges sort of like this \___________/ , and a elevated platform at the ends. so we would only have to build a ramp on each side of the field (the shorter side) so if u were a driver the base of the robot would be like eye level with thew base when you start. Then in like autonomous mode you would go down the ramp, or wait does eat desserts mean that autonomous is at the end. Wo that would mean that that all the robots would need like a GPS like system.
