maybe multi surface field, carpet with sandpit in the middle???

many teams recently have gone with less than 1" ground clearance. i would be nice to see the game force these teams to redesign their frames.
Too many teams would have an advantage if it was sand. All the coastal teams would have ready-made testing grounds, with tougher conditions than an FRC field, and the inland teams would have to find sand and put it in a testing area.

Oh, and a lot of the coastal teams are already doing well. (Yes, I'm counting the teams around the Great Lakes as coastal.)

Now corn, on the other hand...
