Some good ideas you have there, but I don't think that's the actual game. The second hint is a part of the edge around the field, it's not in the middle of it. The 90 degree 'bent' steel plate has a hinge so it stops robots from going off the field when there's a game going on, and folds down afterward to let them pass through, sorta like a door.
Well, I guess we'll find out in less than 3 days... Good luck!
P.S. to everyone else: Don't be pickin' on the rookie teams, guys!
We're here to help them get off to a good start. In a way, because they don't know about past field designs, it allows them to come up with some more ideas instead of rehashing old ones over and over.
