Re: Gate Ramps
Seeing as a field rep from FIRST is actively participating in this conversation, I will take this opportunity to express my concerns over another aspect of the field without going too crazy here.

The locking mechanism with which the gates were secured to the railings (the slide knob and the inside pole part) was always getting stuck and edges from the slot it was sliding in were very sharp at times.

I did cut myself one time up at Mayhem on the Merrimack unfortunately opening this gate system and would like to have the field design crew at least think of some alternatives in the future to the slide locking mechanism.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who experienced this problem, and I realize it must of had to be related to the constant beating the field border railing takes in match after match but there must(?) be a better alternative.

Thanks

-Elgin
