The spinning platform is what makes it fun! Robots are going to have to be nimble or lucky in order to hang, because the odds are that you won't be coming at the bar directly head-on. I predict a class of robots, whom I officially dub the Hellraiser, whose sole goal is to defend the platform against opposing hangers. Man, I'm going to be stewing on this design until February!
One thing I noticed:

Obviously, the field design has changed significantly from the Half-Pipe Hustle field (which was not anticipated to change for some time). But note just below the picture: IFI is replacing the fields for those who invested in a full FVC field from last season. Now
that is nice of 'em.
