In the field specs there is the support plate for the lane divider which is 3/16" thick, protrudes 2 feet into the lanes, and I assume it is placed underneath the carpet. When we place a 1/4" plate under our carpet the bump is very slight and nowhere near 1/2". Anyone else with a low rider bot chassis thinking about this too?

It's on top of the carpet, covered by carpet. You're right, it might not be that much. Still, it will affect gameplay.
