Yeah... about these boxes....

Now, don't get me wrong. I love this year's game, an it seems to respond to many of the requests the students made last year. I like the idea of tese box/containers etc. However, after only a few hours of "testing" (which involved knocking over a tower of them a few times), several of our boxes started ripping and tearing. Thankfully, we were able to save them with duct tape, but how are they going to survive competition? Robots will be knocking them over, and running over them every match, hundreds of times at every competition. I don't know, but it sounds like FIRST will have to buy so many replacements, that it will be an incredibly innefficent use of FIRST funds. Will referees DQ teams everytime they destroy a box by accident? Am I alone in thinking this?
