You can always make corrections by hand, but I'd rather just redownload and reprint. Corrections and errata sheets should be placed before the body of the document.

Welcome to industry.
Yeah, I am in the Industry where we use documents to build and of course, we are humans and make errors. But, in this case I still feel it is highly inexcusable. FIRST pays some engineers to design the game and documents. They know, 1800+ teams need those documents to build what FIRST has designed. How is it possible that there can be different dimensions in different documents, AND have totally WRONG dimensions in the documents at first then update the later after a week in a team update? It is embarrassing.
