I think this would reduce those darned violations by a good 80% and everyone would be happy. The whole purpose was to keep people going clockwise and not be able to do tricky plane maneuvers around the finish line - both of which this would keep in effect.
I am told that it is quite difficult to see the robot through the reflection and glare off the center divider at the opposite end of the field. This tweak would help alleviate that problem.
