I agree. I can't make out any significant change.

Again, I'm with you there. One thing I'd like to point out is there has ALWAYS been two complete sections between the corner of the playing field and the gate. Check your old photos. We cannot see two complete sections on either side, so... we can't really tell where this is on the field! I don't know why everyone is assuming the gate could only fit in the center?

This was my second observation, but again, I think it's a mistake (like the yellow trip hazard plates that should be bent instead of flat). I can't imagine that FIRST would run the risk of having a robot catch one of the uprights and damage the field.... Small beans.
The hint is simply CARPET... yahoo! I guess I didn't waste my summer on another pointless drive concept!
