You're talking about the game pieces, I'm talking about field pieces. If they had to place these expensive-to-make pieces on the field, and have a robot destroy it every round, it wouldn't be too good of a game design. It's probably some sort of remote fixture that a robot would have little or no interaction with, that or no robot could impact into it (a piece that the robot has a consistent loading on.)

I heard the idea of hanging the robots off of these pieces but then saw the point made about safety. What if your robot could only have one wheel and would hang into the 'track' via these rails for balance?
