I don't think the field is becoming more and more complicated - I'd argue it's far simpler than the monstrous rack last year, and also simpler than the triple play field.

I have not competed in FRC before this year so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I would agree that in the physically the fievil) plus the facts that the other side is filled with three old is simpler, but programming wise the field is much harder to navigate. With the turns(the middle wall is ether robots, for all you know know one of them might not have a hybrid and are just sitting there waiting to be hit by a blind robot. With out the green lights the field supplies very little reference to were you are, other than the walls and use of gravity based sensors(but then again they did supply us with the IR).
On that note, I would agree that it can be difficult to set up a second field for practice.
