I honestly don't want to see FIRST turn into battlebots, where the field is contained by walls. It blocks viability, and makes the competitions ugly and slow due to access.

I really think you guys believe that props are bound to spontaneous explode or something. As long as balls or anything of a significant mass does not touch them, there is no reason for them to catastophically fail. We'll most likely be replacing props after every round / two rounds, just to rule out any failure chances due to wear. Beside that, I believe any other precautions are just silly. I mean, I trust the machine... I stand a foot away from it while it's on. Idk if others trust my contruction, but i sure know i do.
