Note that since these are not the exact same as those at the competition, there is the possibility of a slight color difference (important if you're calibrating color sensors for line tracking). My own teams haven't had any issues with these mats though as they really are nearly identical.
Always good to have options.
Competition mats are 5/8" so these are a full 1/4" less in thinkness but field tolerances for element construction are more than that. If you use these for practice just know that you will be off in vertical dimensions to the elements mounted on the field perimeter while no difference for those elements sitting on the field surface
