Balls lodged under bridges??

The problem with a sweeping bar is the 14" appendage rule. There needs to be a change to the field design. The ramps that were added under the bridge after week 0 do absolutely nothing. One idea I had was adding an accordion style skirt under the bridges. They would be inset a bit so as not to interfere with robots while the bridges were down.

I really think the GDC or whoever does field design needs to look at this and address it as a massive problem with the game.
