Re: [FTC]: Full Field vs Low-cost Field

There are less pieces, more rigidity, and less items for the robot to snag during game play.

Are any other dimensions different or is there any reason this modification could/should not be applied to a v2 revision of the field? Assuming no, could you specify the brand of adhesive? We have a v2 and teams were understandably unhappy to see all the snag points.
